The 10 largest occupations in America employ 30.5 million workers. Today we’re going to find out what are the most common jobs in the US Hospitality Industry. Find out and read more about this here!
Getting America's economy running will be difficult without office staff, delivery owners, food-prepared employees, and waiters/waitresses. The largest occupations in America employ 30.5 million workers, accounting for 21% of all workers. Some of the occupations on the list may not need anything more than a high school diploma, although others can need years of training, and education.
Here are the top 4 most common hospitality jobs in the USA:
1. General and Operations Managers
Following attorneys, general managers and corporate executives are the most well-paying people at about $60 an hour. Although they play many roles in managing the activities of an organization, they are largely responsible for ensuring high productivity and low costs.
2. Waiters and Waitresses
Taking food and drink orders is just one aspect of being a waiter or waitress who can work anywhere from small stores to luxury dining rooms. Waiters and waitresses mainly work on tips, so personality and friendly service are important aspects of a job where employers can still pay less than the minimum wage.
3. Customer Service Representatives or Front Desk Operator
Customer care agents answer questions and complaints from the public, usually either in a contact center or at the front desk. High school experience or GED is all that is essential to serve as a customer service agent, while flexibility, strong listening skills, and problem-solving skills are equally necessary.
4. Food Preparation and Serving Workers
America loves fast food, with the industry generating more than $500 billion in revenue annually, and every Big Mac is a food-prep worker. Restaurants, including fast-food chains, employ nearly three million food prep workers, who do not require education, but also have the lowest hourly and annual payments on the list.
The only occupation with more than four million employees is to help customers find products and process their payments. On-the-job training is usually all that is needed to break into the field, ranging from selling clothing and accessories to cars and electronics.
Phew! That was quite a list! But always remember that all fields of work are honorable! People wake up and grind every day to make a living, to provide for their families, and that is very respectable. No matter what kind of work they are in.
