Businesses are struggling to find workers.
CareerSource said it has a plethora of openings to fill but people either aren’t willing or can’t do the work.
For some people, it’s either a personal or economic reason keeping them from returning to work. Some are dealing with health and safety reasons, all a direct result of the pandemic.
The end result is companies are short on staff.
The Naples Soap Company, Goodwill, Starbucks, restaurants, and hotels hiring.
“It is an industry that is not going to see any type of relief soon. I foresee that to take place, recovery of a year and a half to two years down the road for that industry to recover,” said Janeth Castrejon, communications manager for CareerSource Southwest Florida.
Southwest Florida continues to add jobs to the ones lost as a side effect of the COVID-19 global pandemic.
The five-county region of Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry and Lee counties has added 473,700 jobs from a year ago. That means the jobs lost number has fallen from almost half a million to 23,000, according to the January employment report released Monday by Florida’s Department of Economic Opportunity.
Southwest Florida construction jobs climbed by 1,900 from a year ago, according to the data analyzed from the state report by CareerSource Southwest Florida.
“Looking at the numbers, we have reached what we consider full employment, which is between 4 and 5%,” said Janeth Castrejon, communications manager for CareerSource Southwest Florida. “We are kind of leading the way on this number. What’s the best indicator is the year-to-year comparison instead of month-to-month.
