Then in the second quarter, American retailers are going to focus on inventory replenishment during what is traditionally the port\u2019s slack season. The holiday season will likely start early again and last for the rest of the year, Seroka said. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Read: <\/strong>This is how America\u2019s booming demand for goods shattered the supply chain<\/p>\n<p>Seroka said \u201csome progress\u201d is being made in small areas untangling the supply-chain, but noted that labor shortages continue to bedevil his port. The port itself is still short about 4,000 truckers, and warehouses in Southern California could use 8,000-9,000 more workers, he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got to\u2026find a way to create professions out of both of these sectors,\u201d  through higher compensation and more attractive benefits, he said.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe still are fulfilling nearly only 50% of our available truck <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointments every day,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we had more truckers we\u2019d move more cargo. If we had more warehouse workers, we could extend hours,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>One sign of improvement is that there are fewer ships awaiting berths. There are 60 container ships either coming from Asia or waiting for berths at the ports, down from 69 container ships in mid-October, Seroka said. <\/p>\n<div id=\"cx-membership-tile\"><\/div>\n<p>Just the threat of fines has reduced the number of aging containers that have been clogging the port by more than 50%, he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Los Angeles port is operating 19 hours a day and there have been very few takers for the 3:00 a.m. \u2013 8:00 a.m shift, Seroka said. <\/p>\n<p>The yield on the 2-year U.S. Treasury note<br \/>\n        TMUBMUSD02Y,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.000%\" channel=\"\" class=\"\">0.675%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n      has risen steadily since the summer on the prospect that the Federal Reserve will raise its benchmark interest rates next year to combat higher inflation partly caused by shortages due to supply chain problems. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>    <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author mobile-scrim hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Greg Robb\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[{\"type\":\"link\",\"icon\":\"bio\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/topics\/journalists\/greg-robb\",\"text\":\"Biography\"},{\"type\":\"link\",\"icon\":\"twitter\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/grobb2000\",\"text\":\"@grobb2000\"},{\"type\":\"link\",\"icon\":\"email\",\"url\":\"http:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/news\/mailto:grobb@marketwatch.com\",\"text\":\"grobb@marketwatch.com\"}]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Greg_Robb\"><\/span>Greg Robb<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
