List of local businesses struggling to fill positions grows

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — An unexpected issue we first started seeing at the beginning of April is expanding and impacting many more people.

Local restaurants have been struggling to fill open positions, and the list is growing. Businesses across the board are now in the same situation.

It’s forcing many owners to only open on certain days, delay reopening or even causing businesses to close for good.

“We’ve been adjusting schedules and just trying to be flexible,” one business owner said.
