Labor Shortage Issues

I am in an incredibly difficult position keeping my business staffed. I own a lumber yard and sell commodities, meaning that I can only charge a market price for what I sell. I’m having difficulties staffing our yard. It’s physical work but by no means grueling, and I’m paying $20/hour, 401k match, PTO, insurance, flexible schedules, and so fourth, but I can’t get stable help. I can’t pay anymore as I can only sell for the same prices as my big box competitors or we will ruin our reputation. Any advice? My son has been picking up the slack, normally we have 5 workers, currently we have two, but we can’t continue forever like this.

Should I have pay issued to my LLC

I started an LLC a few months ago and am preparing for a new role where I will be paid personally on a 1099. Are there any benefits to using my LLC to be paid? I know it is a pass-through entity by default but what exactly would the positives/negatives be rather than just personally taking a 1099? Appreciate the help just trying to learn
