Like companies in a number of industries, it’s difficult for stores to hire workers during this holiday shopping season.
Fox River Mall General Manager John Berglund says the job market is pretty stressed because of the low unemployment rate.
People started heading to stores for big deals on Thanksgiving, and Berglund says they’ll have less time to get their gifts this year. He says because Thanksgiving was late, there are only 26 days between that holiday and Christmas Eve this year. He thinks Christmas will sneak up on some people.
