Workers might still be nervous about returning to the workplace due to the pandemic.
The convenience store chain Wawa said it must temporarily close some stores because it can’t find employees. Economists thought the U.S. economy created 1 million jobs last month but that was flat-out wrong. The government’s job report out Friday shows it wasn’t even close, as only 266,000 new jobs were created in April.
