U.S. added 372,000 jobs in June but unemployment remained at 3.6%. Employers still are looking to add workers to staff.
TUCSON, Ariz. — In June, the US economy added 372,000 jobs. Despite the addition, employers in Pima County are still looking for workers.
"We could definitely hire 30 to 50 more people today," Chris Albright, the President of KE&G Construction, said."It's never been this bad.""We are trying to find people that are new to construction and help grow them within the company," Albright said."There's a lot of jobs out there that have requirements that don't require a bachelor's degree." Michael Gates, a Community Service Manager at the center, said.
He added that some fields are looking past people's backgrounds that in the past would've prevented them from getting a job. "Because of the demand they are seeing, they are quite forgiving as far as what a person's background can be," Gates said about the truck driving business.Greg Bradbury is a reporter for KGUN 9.
