The trouble the Summit County government is experiencing as it attempts to hire staffers for a range of positions serves as a warning for the rest of the community. If a government armed with the financial resources of an impressive economic run, and the ability to offer a benefits package that many in the private sector cannot match, is having difficulty in the hiring market, businesses are likely also struggling to fill out their staffs even as the busiest stretch of the summer-tourism season has started.

Summit County officials have taken a modern approach to hiring as the nationwide labor shortage continues. The Great Resignation doesn’t seem to be happening locally like in other parts of the country, but the summer slowdown paired with Utah’s ranking as a state with one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country, high housing costs in the Park City area and the lingering coronavirus pandemic have made it challenging to fill vacancies at the County Courthouse, according to Summit County Manager Tom Fisher.
