Foodservice Jobs Continue to Grow in 2015

In recent years, despite the fact that the recession has slowed down considerably, it has seemed as if the only jobs that continue to grow are those related to the tech sector. Developers, coders and other computer-savvy positions have continued to open up at startups and major corporations alike, while other industries appear to be at a standstill of sorts. Luckily, that standstill is only in our imaginations, at least when it comes to the foodservice industry.

As this report from QSR Magazine indicates, the foodservice industry has seen substantial growth in recent years, in nearly every category from quick-service restaurants adding jobs at a 3.8% rate thus far in 2015, to foodservice contractors and snack and nonalcoholic beverage bars seeing increases of jobs at rates of 6.8% and 6.6%, respectively. Even more substantial than these numbers is the fact that the industry as a whole added over 29,000 jobs in July alone. With such high job growth already in 2015, we can expect the trend to continue as the year rounds out, especially with more seasonal positions opening around the holidays. This spells good news for restaurant workers of all categories, and also shines a light on the demand from diners for exceptional dining experiences.
