According to Rebecca Jarvis, an anchor with Good Morning America, the job market has never been better for job seekers, but employers are having a difficult time filling openings. A new report from the labor department showed openings surged in April and are steadily growing. 

Shuckin’ Shack CEO Jonathan Weathington spoke with Good Morning America about how the restaurant has seen considerable growth in business but is having a tough time getting candidates to come and interview. As a result, the team is putting hiring incentives in place to help encourage new applicants and reward long-term employment.  

“As people have stepped away from a notoriously difficult sector of the pandemic, the restaurant and hospitality world, people are seriously thinking about whether they want to come back to it,” said Weathington.

Jarvis notes that the job market is expected to return to normal once autumn rolls around again and kids are back in school full time.
