The Hospitality Industry: The Fine Art of Locating Information
Abstract
Introduction The hospitality field, which incorporates both the restaurant/food services industries and the lodging industry, is one of the most important industries in the United States. The restaurant industry alone is the third largest industry in the nation. Those employed in food services, such as waitresses, cooks, and bartenders, represent the largest group — or one‐third — of all service workers in the country. The hotel industry employs a million workers, and along with the restaurant/food services industry, expects employment to increase through the 80s. All told, the hospitality field is one of the nation's largest, and fastest growing.
