It’s a problem all along the Gulf Coast. Destin, Ft. Walton Beach, Pensacola and South Walton County.

The cost of rental property and single family homes is making it difficult to recruit skilled workers to the area needed to support critical defense contracts at the 5 military bases in the area.

“The cost of rental property and single family homes is making it difficult to recruit skilled workers...”

There’s a simple solution to that. It’s called raising wages (faster than inflation).

I know, it’s something that Americans haven’t had to do in the last 50 years, but it’s still the basic solution to this problem.

Hell, nearly all the restaurants in the area can’t hire workers to keep the doors open past 8pm. Chili’s has gone to take-out only ON WEEKENDS!............
