The spree to hire is on

It's every business owner's No. 1 complaint: finding good people to hire. And it's getting even harder because of falling unemployment.

But one company in Fort Myers continues to report hiring success — despite the fact that Lee County's unemployment rate dropped to 5.2% in June from 6.3% in the same month one year ago.

Alta Resources is doing so well, actually, it hired 264 people in a single day July 30. The one-day job fair it hosted attracted 538 applicants for jobs that entail phone work helping people sign up for health insurance plans during the upcoming open-enrollment period.
