VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – More “help wanted” signs are showing up in Volusia and Flagler counties than anywhere else in the United States, according to a new survey.
Global hiring firm Man Power said it is because the area is dealing with a massive worker shortage.
Over the last six months, local businesses have tried to increase wages and benefits and even offering signing bonuses. Yet in this latest survey, 54 percent of employers in the Volusia and Flagler area are still in need of workers.
