Some small businesses are still struggling to hire qualified workers, even as the broader picture in the U.S. job market looks much brighter.
NEW YORK -- Some small businesses are still struggling to hire qualified workers, even as Americans return to the U.S. job market in droves.
“Small businesses are struggling to compete with larger employers on pay and benefits and cite a lack of qualified workers,” said Joe Wall, National Director of Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Voices. Sweet Cheats had nine staffers at the pre-pandemic peak. Now Hughes has two plus herself. She’s curtailed business hours — closing time has gone from 8:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. and now 4 p.m. — giving her and her two bakers more time in the kitchen. Still, Hughes says she now works 80 to 90 hours a week.
“I don’t think it’s going to change for a while,” she said. “I’m going to keep it the way it is right now, people are not willing to work just yet. I'm still having a lot of trouble finding staff.” Last year in April 2021, Bodasing temporarily opened a second location in a food hall. But then the staffing shortage began to hit home.
