AMERICAN FALLS – If getting a new job is on your bucket list for 2021, then here’s something that may interest you.
Lamb Weston, a potato processing plant in American Falls, is looking to hire more than 70 people throughout the year and the company is hosting weekly hiring events in Pocatello beginning Thursday, Jan. 7.
“We saw a slight dip like everyone else (at the onset of the pandemic),” HR Manager Steven Laing tells EastIdahoNews.com. “We paused hiring for about six months just as we were all trying to figure out COVID and how to manage it and now we’re back into trying to hire a lot more folks because we were shorthanded to begin with.”
From Labour Minister Shahine Robinson to reggae legend Frederick Toots Hibbert, dozens of notable Jamaicans passed on in 2020, a year which has made an impact we won t soon forget. It s no surprise that the novel coronavirus, which turned the world upside down during the year, was behind the deaths of a number of these personalities.
RIP to these luminaries and other Jamaicans we left behind this year. They will always live within our hearts.
