SALT LAKE CITY â Several companies are offering up incentives to stay competitive in Utahâs job market.
The service industry has been hit particularly hard by staff shortages, just ask Hoang Nguyen. She is managing partner of the Sapa Investment Group which owns 6 restaurants and two bakeries.
âWe could hire for probably 25 positions tomorrow,â she said.
Despite offering cash signing bonuses, raising wages and creating an employee referral program, it is still a struggle to fill open positions, Nguyen said.
âWe have been doing restaurants in the valley for over 20 years now and this is the first time it has been this dire to find people to work,â she said.
