Lee County is a ‘job-seeker’ market Unemployed workers choosing to opt out makes hiring hard By CJ HADDAD - | Apr 14, 2021 Is employment opt-out making it hard to hire workers? Although the unemployment rate is at just 4% throughout the county, experts and local businesses are finding it challenging to fill positions in a variety of fields. Officials at CareerSource Southwest Florida are reporting low traffic at their facilities and speculate many individuals are not presently looking for work due to a combination of local and federal benefits, as well as lingering health concerns at the workplace. “Even though we have a very low unemployment rate region-wide, the unemployment numbers do not take into account individuals who are not actively seeking employment,” said CareerSource Southwest Florida spokesperson Janeth Castrejon.
