It's become a familiar part of doing business now. As many companies reopened to the public in recent months, they struggled to keep pace with demand. The issue: Lack of staff and lack of qualified applicants. Whether it's the pandemic, students heading back to school or the competitive wage environment, companies are struggling to find workers. Hotels, restaurants and grocery stores are just a few of those affected. For consumers, we're seeing restaurants closed on weekends, longer grocery lines and fewer coffee shops.
