Hospitality
1. Workforce Shortages
-
Why: Many workers left the industry during COVID-19 and haven’t returned. Hospitality jobs are often low-paid, physically demanding, and come with long, unsociable hours. Competing industries (like gig work or retail) now offer better pay and flexibility.
2. High Staff Turnover
-
Why: The industry is known for short-term contracts, seasonal work, and limited career development. Employees often see hospitality as a stepping stone rather than a career, leading to constant recruitment and training needs.
3. Low Wages and Poor Benefits
-
Why: Many hospitality roles pay minimum wage with few benefits like paid time off, healthcare, or pensions. Tips can help, but they’re inconsistent. This reduces job appeal, especially in high-cost areas.
