The US jobs report for January 2023
The US jobs report for January 2023 brought surprisingly great news to the economy as a whole, with 517,000 jobs added in the month. The Leisure and Hospitality industry led the way with more than 128,000. This is great news for the industry that was hit the hardest by the pandemic.
Even with those extra jobs, the industry is still 2.9% below it’s pre-pandemic peak. Many of the jobs filled in January were posted in December, which is a great time to be posting jobs that you want to fill in the new year. Hospitality businesses are adopting new hiring practices, reaching outside the industry to find new talent, and offering new benefits to attract next-generation talent.
