Labor shortage in Memphis

Labor shortage in Memphis

Much like the rest of the country, Memphis too experienced a labor shortage. Small scale businesses in Memphis are hit the worst due to labor shortages.

These business owners believe that the pandemic caused massive dropout in the labor workforce which is unlikely to be restored as people would much rather prefer to collect their unemployment benefit checks. This is, however, a concern as public spaces start to open up again, people are flooding these sites to make up for the lost time however, the owners do not have enough labor-power to manage the massive influx of population. 
One corroborating evidence of this is the "help wanted" sign posted outside almost every local coffee shop or amusement park. There is also an urgent need for care-taking job roles like babysitting, dog walking, etc.
