Horner on today's job training, wages and workforce

Posted by Staff on Monday, May 23, 2022

A message from the Apollo Career Center Superintendent Keith Horner:

I recently read in GraphsandLaughs that there were 11.55 million job openings and 5.95 million unemployed people in March [2022]. This is very close to two jobs available for every job seeker, which is consistent with what we see in this region. Every sector that Apollo works with is experiencing workforce issues.  

As a result of these issues, we have seen a couple of things happening. One, wages are increasing, even for high school students.  It is not unusual for our high school students to make $15 to $20 per hour.
