-: My name is Katie Binning
and I am the recruiter for Hammer Residences.
The biggest challenge that we face is
the work force labor shortage in Minnesota.
There aren't enough people for the jobs that we have.
And since we are a social services,
government-funded nonprofit,
the wages can't compare to for-profit industries.
So I am trying really hard to make sure
that people understand the other kind of value
that a job at Hammer can bring them.
Even though we can't pay people a lot of money,
we can provide a lot of other value to people's lives.
