Missouri business owners pay for ‘Get. To. Work’ billboard

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Billboards that are popping up around Springfield say its time to “Get Off Your Butt!” and “Get. To. Work” as jobs go unfilled. KYTV reports that the billboards tell job seekers that they can “Apply Anywhere.” Brad Parke, the General Manager of Greek Corner Screen Printing and Embroidery, went in on the signs with a handful of other business owners who prefer to remain anonymous. Parke said there are “Now Hiring” signs everywhere.  The workforce shortage is a major problem in all sectors and its affecting the supply chain for all kinds of goods and services, despite the Greene County Commission reporting a record-low unemployment rate is at 2.8%.
