YANKTON, S.D.(WNAX)- More people are needed to fill the continuing job openings across the state and region.

Rita Nelson, with Yankton Thrive, says they are reaching out to people who ask for tourism information.

Nelson says it is another way to make connections.

Nelson says they are willing to work with state agencies on development ideas.

Nelson says the focus continues to be on finding workers for existing companies rather than looking for new companies to come in.
