News 40 | WNKY Television July 28, 2021 BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Pre-pandemic, the labor force participation rate shows that Kentucky ranked 42nd in the country. The numbers have worsened with Kentucky now ranking 48th behind West Virginia and Mississippi. Roughly 44 percent of Kentuckians who are able-bodied and eligible to work are not actively seeking employment. Coming out of the pandemic, there are about 7,500 open jobs in the 10-county region. Our current labor force participation rate is only 56 percent. A handful of those open jobs can be found at Anna’s Greek Restaurant, a locally owned restaurant in downtown Bowling Green. Owner and operator of Anna’s, Vilson Qehjah, says that out of 19 years of hiring and firing, this is the worst worker drought he has ever experienced.
