Her recent attempts to hire more staff have been futile, much to her chagrin. I found four people off Facebook to set up an interview for a job, and only one showed up, Burns said of a recent attempt. But I haven t seen or heard from her again.
And this is not long after she set up interviews with 11 people. Not a single one showed up, said Burns, who owns Woody s Steakhouse, and is exasperated like so many other employers. It s rough. And it s happening all over the U.S.â
Burnsâ assertion is correct; her struggles to find employees is far from uncommon. Across the country, employers across many industries are finding it challenging to hire and retain workers.Â
