It’s no secret that businesses are struggling throughout the pandemic, with many having to overcome new challenges.
“It seems like we get over one hurdle and then another obstacle is created, so right now what’s going on is we’re having staffing shortages,” Susan Jones, Executive Director of the OC Hotel Motel Restaurant Association, said.
I’m told those staffing shortages aren’t just being seen locally, but across the country.

“We have the demand so people are actually coming to our community to vacation, so we need the workers desperately,” Jones said.
