Anyone who has looked for qualified
candidates to fill roles in your dairy business may have felt like that
is a harder task than it was even just five years ago. That feeling is
very real. Since the pandemic, worker expectations and needs have
shifted. There is also more competition with higher pay from other
industries. Fewer workers in general are available because our population
is slowly aging, and fewer people are participating in the labor
force now than they were just a decade ago.
