Leisure and hospitality jobs increase as economy grows

Employment in Connecticut’s leisure and hospitality market is better than it’s ever been. In the last two months, the sector added 4,000 jobs statewide, recovering from a seven-month drought. Even as concerns surrounding wage growth persist, an growing national economy is helping lead a resurgence of the industry that consists of food service, hotel, and arts and entertainment. “What was declining came back, at least for two months, and the larger segment of accommodation and food seems to be growing,” said Andy Condon, director of the Office of Research for the Department of Labor. The industry started a downward slope in October as jobs steadily faded away leading into the spring.
