There are nearly four job hunters for every job advertised online in the Kansas City area. According to The Conference Board’s Help-Wanted data series, there were 24,700 regional jobs posted online in September, a month in which there were 93,900 workers searching for jobs in the metro area.
People with health problems sometimes struggle with how much to share with their employer. For example, an older woman who works on her feet all day and gets swollen, painful ankles may be afraid to ask her boss for a chair to sit on. And because she can’t afford to take time off, she may not get the doctor’s excuse that might require reasonable accommodation.
