There aren't many signs that the labor shortage is going to go away any time soon.
Many businesses have been hit hard. Some bosses have found ways to tackle the problem head on.
The Palm Beach Post reported that the president and CEO of Interessant Hotels & Resort Management was Jan Guatam. Guatam told the outlet that he was recently hired to work at an understaffed Florida location.
He stopped at a Holiday Inn Express in Boynton Beach to help make the beds and offer support to the manager, while he was on his way to a meeting in Fort Lauderdale.
The closest airports to each other are in Florida, with a two-hour, 30-minute drive away from each other.
Guatam told the outlet that he would make the beds. If I don't go, what happens?
Wage hikes, store closings, and employee burnout have been caused by the squeezed labor market.
The co- founder of a San Francisco pizza chain raised his salary to $70,000 last year, but he didn't get any applications for an assistant manager.
The Palm Beach Post reported that making beds and offering manual support to the hotel managers and employees at the 24 properties that Guatam's company owns are among his most important duties as an executive.
The people who stay at our hotels want 100% service. He said that they are paying for it. The rooms have to be clean. They have to be prepared.
According to Insider's Juliana Kaplan, labor shortages may persist beyond 2022.
According to the results of a study conducted by the US Chamber of Commerce, labor shortages could be permanent, given how many people left jobs during the Pandemic and have not returned to work.
