Mahnomen County Social Services Director Talks Impact of the Great Resignation

Mahnomen, MN — The great resignation continues to impact employers trying to fill jobs and find ways to be competitive in a tight labor market. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, over 47 million Americans quit their jobs to either retire or take a more lucrative job offer in 2021. During a visit on the KRJB Kaleidoscope Program this week, Mahnomen County Social Services Director Julie Hanson shared how the Great Resignation is impacting their department.

The Social Services Department is by far the largest department in Mahnomen County with roughly two dozen employees. Hanson says they currently have several positions open for anyone interested in joining a team-based, positive environment.

To help combat the Great Resignation and remain competitive to retain and recruit employees to work for Mahnomen County, County Administrator CJ Holl says they’ve instituted some new incentives for employees this past year.
