The hospitality industry is an exciting and fascinating field. It is a misconception that it is limited
to hotels and restaurants and fast food outlets. On the contrary it encompasses a wide range of
job and career opportunities and offers an infinite variety of places to work in. Furthermore, it
provides the worker with a platform to work their way to the very top and earn six-figure
incomes, with excellent benefits and perks.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the hospitality industry contributes nearly 9
percent of all employment in the country and provides employment to approximately 13 million
people. In June this year 75,000 new hospitality jobs were added. The Bureau opines that the
industry is currently facing a shortage of workers and will need to find millions of new workers by
the end of this decade to meet the increasing demand.
Restaurant jobs in DC registered a stronger growth, which according to analysts is the result of
the surge in business at local bars, eateries and theatres. According to the Labor Department
the hospitality sector added 11,700 jobs between February 2012 and February 2013 in the
capital.
There is a glut of openings for restaurant jobs in NYC heralding excellent job prospects for
hotel employees. In a survey it ranked as the second best city in the country for restaurant jobs
primarily because of the huge number of hotels and rooms in the city and its nearness to
Atlantic City, where Casinos have opened up a whole new vista of jobs.
