Independent Health, UPS aiming to hire - The Buffalo News
Independent Health and UPS are looking to hire.
Independent Health and an affiliate company, Nova Healthcare Administrators, are filling a combined 57 full-time customer service positions by late May or June.
And UPS plans to hire for more than 100 permanent, part-time package handling positions in Buffalo at its James E. Casey Drive facility in Lovejoy.
Both companies are trying to hire at a time when the region's unemployment rate is 7.3%, but many employers say they are struggling to find people to fill positions. The region still has about 33,000 fewer jobs than it had in February 2020, before the Covid-19 pandemic caused widespread job losses last spring.
