Some employers in Teton County are having trouble finding summer workers. An improving economy, increased tourism and a lack of affordable housing all appear to be factors in the labor shortage. Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is offering a $500 reward for employees who recruit somebody to work as a cook or housekeeper. The incentive comes in two parts. The resort pays $200 one month after recruitment and $300 at the end of the season. Both employees have to work the whole season. The Shooting Star golf course at Teton Village doesn't have enough workers to spray for weeds and has resorted to hiring goats to eat the weeds. The course manager says he's four to six workers short of a full crew.
