“Everybody seemed to return to restaurants, almost all at the same time,” said Timirie Shibley, Co-Owner of Doo-Dah Diner. A return of customers means a need for more staff. Shibley says while that is a good problem to have, filling the demand has been a struggle. “We can get interviews scheduled, we were having a hard time getting people showing up for their interviews and if we did have somebody show up for their interview and hired for the job,” Shibley said. “They didn’t show up for the day of the job.” Shibley says this is an issue seen beyond Doo-Dah Diner, “Our industry is having a severe shortage of people applying and coming back into it.” Kansas Works is seeing an all-time high of job openings with more than 45,000 listed in their system.
