The problem of finding workers is not a nationwide one; out here on the Left Coast there is no staffing shortage that I can see.
Portland has a vibrant restaurant scene with no lack of folks wanting and willing to work there.
I suspect that is due in part to the fact that a lot of younger folks have moved here because it's a "hip" place to live, a reputation fueled in part by the TV show "Portlandia."
Many arrive here looking for and taking whatever job they can find.
I understand the dynamic is completely different in the lakes region, a quasi-rural area.
One question as to the imported workers: where do they live while working in NH for the season?
I assume that the employer provides /pays for their housing?
If so, wouldn't this negatively affect the employer's overall bottom line profitability profitability?
