Lifeguard shortage leads to pay increase for Volusia County's beaches

Volusia County is grappling with a lifeguard shortage, and officials are increasing pay in hopes of attracting young adults and teens to join their ranks.  This year, Volusia County raised the starting pay from $17 an hour to $18.50, along with a $1,750 bonus. Despite these incentives, the county still faces difficulties in recruiting young people.
