“There’s a lot of great places for jobs, lot of medical jobs, lot of driving jobs, lots of jobs paying good money,” said a job seeker named Eric.

“Like everyone else across the country right now, we need people to work for us,” said Summer Rascoll-Jones, recruiter for Jordan Valley Community Health Center. “We need people in maintenance, we need who do payments, we need people who talk on the phone as patient advocates.”
