We’re hiring, but no one is applying – LOB 217

October 08, 2021

You don't have to look far to see a "We're hiring" sign. But nobody's applying for the jobs. A local restaurant owner who was a champion on the Food Network Cutthroat Kitchen couldn't find anyone to work at his restaurant...so he gave up looking. A local school bus company found themselves short of the needed number of drivers so they turned to the National Guard for help.

The Language of Business looks at the dynamic of lots of job openings and few applicants. Host Greg Stoller talks with Chef Mike Fucci of Chef Mike's Catering in Needham MA and Timothy Sheehan, Senior Vice President of Operations at Beacon Mobility about the difficulty of finding people willing to fill open job positions.
