Are you still in PCB? Without the foreign college kids on short term work visas, it's going to be hard to staff for seasonal peaks because so many locals need year round hours and not just a bunch of shifts during the spring and summer tourist surge.
I remember seeing a wage sheet from one of the big local PCB employers looking for foreign help for summer 2019 posted on Facebook and even then so many locals would have been nope, can do a lot better working at Publix or Hobby Lobby. Or getting on with one of those cleaning companies where you can make more doing Saturday-only condo and beach house cleaning on changeover day than you could putting in 40 hours a week at the Econolodge.
