This is how I have felt for a year, sure I could get employees, but I can't.
I called to have my furnace serviced this winter , and the bigger company in our area needed 3 weeks, then called back and had to put me out further.
Found another company that came in a few days .
I just called said company to hang a new big gas furnace in my shop for the winter, and she said , they may not be able so service me till the end of summer . AC calls off the charts. Has not stopped since early May , and its not even hot here yet .
Just had a rental cleaned out and all the cleaning ladies are booked out for a few weeks .
All the shops here are booked out for 2-3 weeks minimum, all construction guys ,, roofers, concrete guys ,are hustling , landscapers are jamming and booked .
It is crazy. In a world, where you used to be able to just pick up the phone and get nearly anything you wanted done, now , your are fortunate to get anybody to show up , and do what they say they will at any price point .
All the honest competent people are full to the max . Could all probably hire on a few new people , if only they could find them and afford them .
