Workforce Solutions of the Coastal Bend hosted a restaurant and food industry job fair with over 40 local businesses. Collectively they have over 300 openings they need to fill.
Some businesses say they have struggled to find new hires this year due to unemployment and COVID-related benefits. âPeople are still using different money that theyâre getting from different government help and we definitely want to get them back to accrual payroll and getting them back to work, says Kristen Wolf, director of area sales for a local hospitality group.
