On Perth Live, Oly further investigated what the realities are behind these statistics and how managers are planning to juggle current and future staff. 

Tim Buckton, General Manager at Emily Taylor, told Oly that it has been incredibly tough the past six months to recruit and retain staff.

"It's a double whammy, we've got a shortage of staff and on top of that they've all contracted Covid," Mr Buckton said. 

"We've been putting job adverts up, you get a few applications but a lot of them are from overseas. Some quality applications do come in but they know their value so they're asking $20-$30 above on wages."
