Federal Government Rule Could Cause Worker Shortages in Lake Geneva
Walworth County could face problems due to worker shortages
Yesterday, a new rule cracking down on employers who knowingly hire undocumented workers took effect. The Department of Homeland Security is insisting on the tougher measures. However, as the Gazette Extra reports, this could cause worker shortages in Lake Geneva and the rest of Walworth County:
"What I anticipate will happen is wages will go up and it will lead to
inflation," [UW-Whitewater professor Russ] Kashian said. "It’s hard enough to find good employees now.
If you pull people out of the pool, you have to pay remaining workers
even more."
