Holiday shipping rush amid the labor shortage: What UPS and FedEx say - MSN

Shipping giants UPS and FedEx both say the labor shortage is causing their workforce to be smaller than they’d like in certain cities across the U.S.

UPS human resources manager Jeff Bloedorn said Denver’s suburbs of Aurora and Englewood are areas needing more workers. “We’re seeing some areas around the country with tight labor markets, and we reacted accordingly. Some of the things we’re looking to do is increase our wages, and we’ve done that in Colorado Springs as well.”

In a statement to KKTV, FedEx expressed similar issues, saying in part, “acquiring top talent is a top focus, yet the industry-wide labor shortage is putting on added pressure as there are less people to fill more available roles. FedEx has experienced a dramatic increase in demand for our residential delivery services as online shopping and e-commerce surge”
