Businesses Say They're Having Trouble Finding People Who Will Show Up For Work
Every month, the New York Fed conducts two surveys: the Empire State Manufacturing Survey and its services-sector counterpart, the Business Leaders Survey. And each April it asks respondents of both surveys questions related to the difficulty of finding potential hires with certain skills.
This year's pair of April surveys confirmed that, like in previous years, employers are having trouble finding people with advanced computer skills, interpersonal skills, and general punctuality and reliability.
Furthermore, businesses in both the manufacturing and services sectors report that it is becoming increasingly difficult to retain skilled workers.
Below are the two key tables from the survey.
1. Skills businesses are having trouble finding in potential hires.
