“Yes, finding good talent for New Orleans’ hospitality industry is our number one priority right now,” Kelly Schulz, senior vice president of communications and PR for New Orleans & Company told The Daily Beast. New Orleans & Company is the official marketing organization for New Orleans tourism.
“As tourism begins to ramp up, some businesses who are short-staffed have had to change their hours and make other accommodations,” said Schulz. She adds that New Orleans is doing well on the COVID-19 front, and they are holding job fairs, but there is still a need to make sure “the city is fully staffed.”
The Midwest is also not immune to the crisis.
Cedar Point Theme Park in Ohio, for example, a popular destination for rollercoaster and waterpark lovers, is currently closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays through most of June due to being short on staff.
