BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – You may have noticed “we’re hiring” signs all over the place and even some hiring tents placed out and about.
The Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce president and chief executive officer Ron Bunch said unemployment in the area is very high and the impact is causing a slew of changes in the local workforce.
“Employers are doing what they have to do, meaning that they are automating. So, you are going to see much more automations in manufacturing. You’re going to have much more capitol intensive projects. But in restaurants and other things you’re going to direct service or to a kiosk and so some of that labor may get replaced forever,” said Bunch.
