Reader Poll Results: How Many of You Find Staffing Harder These Days?

June 15, 2022

In a recent Pop-up Poll conducted by Women In Optometry and Vision Monday, 86 percent of respondents said that staffing is more difficult now than it was prior to COVID-19. Just more than 11 percent said the challenge of finding great staff is about the same, and 2 percent said it has become easier.

The demand for staff is being felt by most respondents, with only 9 percent reporting that they currently have no job openings in their businesses. The plurality, 43 percent, said that they have two-to-three positions open for full-time employees right now.

Another 34 percent said they have one full-time slot open, and 6 percent each said that they are currently looking to fill four-to-five full-time positions and more than six positions.
