Fewer workers, fewer summer festivals – Amusement companies can’t get workers, who can’t get visas
Tagged: family
A summertime tradition as American as apple pie could be hurt by the congressional deadlock over immigration reform.
Local carnival operators say they may be forced to offer fewer rides and skip some smaller events this year because they are having trouble getting the workers they need. Last year, two local ride operators got about half their workers through the visa program that’s being held up.
“Our family-owned and -operated business that we have built for the last 23 years is in real jeopardy,” said Mary Johnson of Arlington Heights-based Fantasy Amusements. She said she’s holding off on buying new rides and may have to cancel some smaller events.”*
