HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - Last week, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce recommended ending the additional federal unemployment supplement for the pandemic, and Gov. Tate Reeves announced Monday the state will opt out of the benefits on June 12.
Meanwhile, restaurant owners say they are actually short-staffed and have been struggling to fill positions for months.
Trey Ziegler says as the owner at Fuzzy’s Taco shop, he’s often working in the kitchen on the line to help his staff.
