As more people continue to get vaccinated, restaurants, retail stores, and other companies are beginning to open up. After a year and half of being quarantined, Americans throughout the country are excited and eager to get outdoors and no longer be stuck inside. However, as more companies continue to open up their doors and services, there is a problem arising: there is a shortage of workers.  In April, the Bureau of Labor reported that job openings rose from 8.3 million to 9.3 million, which is an astounding increase of jobs added in a month. Yet, while the demand for workers is on the rise, the supply for workers is not.

The Washington Post reports one hold up could be workers hesitant to return until they are fully vaccinated, but is there another issue at play? At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, many workers were laid off while other were forced into unemployment. During this down time  would be workers took other jobs to make ends meet and ultimately, reconsidered their options. The facts: 66 percent of unemployed adults said they had seriously considered changing their field of work and 55 percent said they have enjoyed not having to work for a while to focus on their hobbies. Many of those who are unemployed, and even workers who are currently still working, are beginning to realize the cracks in the work force and want things to change. So what can companies do to encourage workers to return?
