Editor,
I will continue to pray for ALL small businesses having a hard time with staff. It really seems as if no-one wants to work.
Unfortunately for many when the federal funds run out; interest rates remain high, if not going even higher; the cost of goods increase; fuel increases; utilities increase — we may be in a world of extreme hurt by the middle to end of 2023, and that’s just the beginning.
Sorry to sound so [pessimistic], but it sure seems we’re headed in that direction.
Hopefully tourism and military funds increase to balance the negative.
