Posted May 19, 2021 11:28 AM

There are openings with the City of Junction City. City Manager, Allen Dinkel, stated Tuesday night that there are eight job openings just in public works alone. "We have a lot of openings in the city, just a lot of openings. " 

"Everybody is having that same problem." Dinkel noted that he talked to someone in Manhattan where a survey was done on the west side of that city. "Every business is short of employees."

Dinkel also noted that Manhattan has 60 of their summer park and rec positions where there are not any applications. "We're facing that fact right now. We just need employees. "

Dinkel reported on the employee position vacancy to the Junction City Commission.
