湾区重开！餐饮企业时薪24美元！却招不到人！
（NBC）South Bay Businesses Struggling to Find Workers as COVID-19 Restrictions Ease
随着COVID-19限制放宽，南湾企业难以找到工人
As Santa Clara County businesses gear up to operate under the less restrictive yellow COVID-19 reopening tier, many business owners are facing a new problem, which is finding enough workers.
随着圣克拉拉县的企业逐渐重开，许多企业主正面临一个新问题，那就是找到足够的工人。
It's particularly tough for restaurants. At “A Slice Of New York” restaurant in San Jose, the pizza is very popular and even during a pandemic, the takeout business has generally been good. Now that restrictions are easing, restaurant founder Kirk Vartan said he could use more qualified workers. But he said that he can’t find any.
这对餐馆来说尤其困难。在圣何塞的“A Slice Of New York”餐厅，披萨非常受欢迎，甚至在疫情期间，外卖生意也一直很好。现在限制放宽了，餐厅创始人柯克·瓦尔坦(Kirk Vartan)说，他可以雇佣更多合格的员工。但他说他找不到。
“Well I tell you, it’s really challenging,” he said. “We’re advertising with our base salary which starts at $16.50 with our surcharge it goes over $20. No experience required and we don’t get anyone applying. We have an Indeed ad that shows $22 to $24 an hour and we’re still not getting qualified applicants.”
“我告诉你，这真的很有挑战性，”他说。“我们的基本工资是16.50美元起，加上其他费用能超过20美元。不需要经验，也没人申请。我们的广告内容显示的是每小时22到24美元，但我们仍然没有得到合格的申请人。”
Vartan can only guess as to why the low turnout for applications.
Vartan只能猜测为什么申请人数如此之低。
"Even though it might not be quite as much as coming back to work with unemployment benefits, I think that’s probably the cause," he added.
他补充说:“尽管这么高的工资，还是没有失业救济金的多，可能这就是他们不愿回来工作的原因。”
On Wednesday, the San Jose international Airport held a job fair to staff concessions that are reopening. They are recruiting the food and beverage workers that the restaurants also want.
周三，San Jose international Airport为重新开放的工作人员举行了一场招聘会。他们正在招募餐厅也需要的食品和饮料工人。
“We do need those bartenders. front of house and back of house people in the restaurants,” said Scott Riddle, the property manager at San Jose International Airport. “It has been very difficult for the whole industry and every airport in the country is dealing with the same problem.”
“我们确实需要那些调酒师。圣何塞国际机场的物业经理斯科特·里德尔(Scott Riddle)说。“这对整个行业来说都非常困难，该国的每个机场都在处理同样的问题。”
Some applicants say restaurant work is now unpredictable.
一些求职者说，餐馆工作现在很难预测。
“I kinda want to try to step out of there, that mindset, you know? Kind of have a brighter and more positive view about things,” said Destiny Urias, a clerk.
“我有点想试着走出那种心态，你知道吗?对事情有一种更光明、更积极的看法，”职员德斯特妮·乌里亚斯说。
James Kerkstra, who is a bartender is also having a hard time. “Trying to find something full-time that’s really solid,” he said. “Right now, especially as things are gearing back up is a little tougher.”
James Kerkstra是一名酒保，他的日子也不好过。“我想找一份真正可靠的全职工作，”他说。“现在，尤其是在形势好转的情况下，情况变得有点艰难。”
Vartan said that is restaurant is fortunate.
瓦尔坦说，那家餐厅是很幸运的。
He told NBC Bay Area that some longtime former workers who moved out of the area are returning and will be hired back, before they can be snapped up by other businesses looking for help.
他对NBC湾区说，一些长期离开该地区的工人正在返回工作岗位，在他们被其他寻求帮助的企业收购之前，他们将被重新雇用。
