According to Restaurant Business, restaurants of all kinds have reported difficulties hiring employees, to the point that many locations are closing early or for entire days because of worker shortages.

Entire locations have been slow to reopen after the pandemic in part because of labor.

The labor shortage is also making it difficult for restaurants to get supplies because of a lack of drivers and there are some concerns that it’s causing issues throughout the supply chain.

Restaurants are making changes to get workers—including sign-on bonuses, higher pay, better benefits and other strategies—and what it will mean for consumers.

But, it’s not just restaurants.

Nearly half (47 percent) of retailers say they are having a tough time attracting employees for the upcoming holiday season. That is according to a new Korn Ferry (NYSE: KFY) survey of more than 50 major retailers.

Korn Ferry is a global organizational consulting firm.
