RESTAURANT AND BAR OWNERS SAY

IT’S WASTING PRECIOUS TIME AND
DRAINING RESOURCES.
OUR CONSUMER INVESTIGATOR HANK

IS HAPPENING.

WHETHER IT’S YOUR LOCAL BAR,
RESTAURANT, OR LOCAL MALL.
HERE’S THE INSIDE STORY.

HARDER THAN EVER TO GET
EMPLOYEES TO WORK FOR THEM.

BIG STRUGGLE!

MANPOWER.

SPOT IN MADISON HEIGHTS FOR
YEARS.
AFTER SURVIVING MOST OF THE
PANDEMIC, THE ISSUE IS HIRING.
BUT THERE’S A BRAND-NEW TWIST:
THE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
AGENCY NOW REQUIRES PROOF THAT
YOU’VE SET UP INTERVIEWS.
SOME BAR & RESTAURANT OWNERS
EXCHANGING TEXT MESSAGES AND
E-MAILS LIKE THESE AND HANDED IN
AS THE PROOF THAT THE EMPLOYEE
IS LOOKING FOR WORK. THE INTERVIEWS ARE SET UP AND
THE INTERVIEWS ARE SET UP AND
THEN, BOOM, THE POTENTIAL
EMPLOYEE JUST VANISHES.

BUILDING SALES.
RIGHT NOW, WE’RE OPEN 8 HOURS A
DAY AND IT’S NOT GONNA CUT IT.
>> Hank: BACK OUT HERE LIVE.

GET PEOPLE WORKING AGAIN.

DOWNPOURS AND A RUMBLE OF
THUNDER TONIGHT.
