County tops 100,000 workers for the first time

Business is booming at Rogue Regency Inn as travelers hit the highways in record numbers.

That’s proving both a blessing and a curse for Brady Gibson, assistant general manager, who oversees the Biddle Road hotel’s operations.

“We’re on the cusp of another summer, and we’re hiring in every department right now,” Gibson said. “The economy is strong, so people are traveling. But we can’t find the employees to staff what we need. We have a good problem, but it’s making for a bad problem. The lack of good workers is affecting our industry.”

That’s in part because more people are working in Jackson County than ever.
