U.S. Restaurants Projected to Add 490,000 Seasonal Jobs This Summer

The restaurant industry is a major contributor for jobs in America and is always adding more with seasonal job offers for the busy months. This summer alone, the industry is expected to add almost half a million jobs to the market. Although the number of jobs is a very large number, it is down from recent years. This is mainly caused by the higher labor cost in the country. The seasonal jobs are still needed to cover the high amount of vacationing customers nationally.

Key Takeaways:

• Restaurants are expected to add 490,000 summer seasonal jobs this year, but this is the smallest gain since 2012.
• Higher labor costs and a tighter labor market are largely responsible for hiring being curtailed.
• Typically the restaurant industry is second only to construction in creating American summer seasonal jobs.
