   Sandra McCormick and Tom Anderson of Utah's Department of Workforce Services have their thumbs on the pulse of the job market, and recently they have been detecting an interesting trend: employers in Park City have yet to hire for the positions they usually fill by October.
   ...
   The employer market, McCormick and Anderson believe, is becoming an employee market, and it is just about time, they say, for employers to raise their wages.
   ...
   "We've been trying to advise the employers and let them know why they haven't found employees," explains Anderson, a business consultant for the State of Utah Department of Workforce Services (DWS). "When employers talk to us, we suggest they raise wages and they initially don't think it's necessary. Then they call us back [to amend their listings] and say, 'let's raise the hourly rate a dollar.'"

   McCormick and Anderson have been working with DWS for some time and have not seen this dramatic a trend in the market since 1994.

   "Park City was booming for a long time, but after 9/11, bookings went down," remembers Anderson.

   But for those who would rather stick around Park City, Park City DWS Business Consultant Tom Anderson, who has worked in town for some time, says Park City's seasonal job market is quickly becoming a year-round job market.
   
   "Mostly [the people who get laid-off] are those who have lift-operator-type jobs. But not everyone loses their job in April, and less and less people feel they need to leave each year," Anderson told The Park Record. "Beginning last year, there seems to be a lot of extra work -- especially in construction."
   
   Carpentry skills can help when applying for construction jobs, according to Anderson, but for anyone who is willing to do the physical labor like clean up sites, paint or pound nails, there is always work available at construction sites.
   
   Typically, Anderson has not seen people surprised by the time the final day of their seasonal employment rolls around. According to Anderson, employees usually expect it -- it's just up to them to decide whether they want to get another job.
   ...
   Anderson has observed that Park City's workforce is no longer as transient. The job market, he says, is up -- even from last year.
