COUNTY BEAT: Applications for county job openings down

Commissioners heard updates from various departments during work sessions Tuesday. Commissioner Jeff Rector was not in attendance for the meeting. 

Human Resources Director Laura Smith said there are currently seven positions open at the county. While the number of job openings has remained fairly consistent, the number of applications received has fallen. According to Smith, in each of the last three years 240 applications were received. In 2021, 134 applications came in for 41 positions.
