The valley’s chronic employee shortage has been exacerbated by the pandemic and booming real estate market. Author: Scott Miller (Vail Daily) Published: 8:19 PM MDT May 24, 2021 Updated: 8:19 PM MDT May 24, 2021
EAGLE COUNTY, Colo. Aryn Schlichting runs the Vail Valley portion of the Mountain Careers website. She said she’s noticed over the past few weeks that “employers are starting to get competitive on wages.”
In this case, “competitive” means some landscapers are hiring at $20 or more.
Vacasa, a national property management firm with a presence in the Vail Valley, is also paying well.
In an email, Aurora Moore of Vacasa wrote in an email that the firm is currently hiring housekeepers for its Vail Valley operations. Pay for those jobs is $22 per hour, as well as a $750 sign-on and retention bonus for new housekeepers and “maintenance runners.”
