Staff shortage leads to imported labor in Fla.
MIAMI - In South Florida, it was another record tourist season, and the $4 billion-a-year hotel industry is building dozens of new properties. The big problem, though, is staffing, and a critical labor shortage.We just weren't getting the talent level nor the applicants that we needed," says Gino Caliendo, general manager at the Hyatt.

Hotels and other tourist businesses have started to rely on imported labor.
In the Florida Keys, the Cheeca Lodge couldn't find enough local employees. Skyrocketing housing prices chased away most of the blue-collar workers, so the Cheeca and other hotels went overseas to staff the busy tourist season. We get them from Jamaica, Bulgaria, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic," says Jerry Broz, general manager at Cheeca Lodge.
