View Comments As more people get vaccinated and return to normal life, the economy is expected to bounce back thanks to demand for activities that were put on hold during the COVID-19 pandemic. But with that increase in demand, many businesses say they are struggling to hire workers. The phenomenon is essentially the reverse of a worker shortage, according to representatives in the Labor Department. There s still a plethora of jobless people to choose from, with more than 31,000 people still collecting unemployment from the state. But businesses with unfilled spots aren t able to find them. What we are hearing, of course, are a need for workers to fill unfilled jobs, said Rachel Turney, deputy secretary at the Department of Labor.
