New data released from the Federal Jobs Report shows more jobs are available now across the nation than before the coronavirus pandemic, but not enough workers.
Experts say the lack of child care and COVID-19 fears contribute to the decrease in job seekers.
Mike Gonzalez, a spokesperson for Texas Workforce Solutions, said hundreds of jobs are available Valley-wide, but business owners are struggling to find people to hire. We re also seeing a similar situation in the foodservice industry and the hospitality industries, Gonzalez said. We re noticing that a lot of these jobs are going unfilled despite some pay raise increases from employers.

High school seniors are on the cusp of graduating, and will soon progress on to new educational opportunities and career possibilities. However, the pandemic relegated many of these students to remote instruction, leaving them without some of the expected opportunities to grow as young adults.
Taking from them their athletics, extracurricular activities, a sure-fire method of instruction and the social opportunities found at high school, students are now expected to plan out what they want their future to be.

UBER is in need of more drivers because their demand is exceeding their supply of drivers on call. They are offering incentives including sign-up bonuses. Michelle Castro of Texas Workforce Solutions says she s not surprised because the hospitality industry is coming back in the Houston area. Leisure and Hospitality having job openings is a really good sign for our economy because they were the first hit and the hardest hit. UBER depends upon bars, hotels, restaurants and airports for their riders. Plus - people are still avoiding public transportation so they re using ride-sharing as well. Besides that, Food delivery alone jumped 150% from last March.
