Reesindustrie Aarbechtsplaze féieren zu méi héije Léin an e permanente Fouss fir finanziell Erfolleg, iwwerschratt Kompensatioun a béid Fabrikatioun a Gesondheetsversuergung, laut der US Travel Association Made in America: Travel's Contribution to Workforce Development.
US Travel huet d'Etude verëffentlecht géint den Hannergrond vun der 36. jährlecher National Travel and Tourism Week. De Bericht - deen zweeten an der US Travel "Made in America" Serie, déi d'Wichtegkeet vu Reesen fir d'US Wirtschaft beliicht - fënnt datt Reesindustrie Aarbechtsplazen e Wee zum Wuelstand fir Millioune Amerikaner ubidden.
Ënnert den Top Erkenntnisser:
• Travel is the No. 1 industry for first jobs. Nearly four in 10 workers got their start in travel and tourism. Moreover, they are good first jobs that give workers skills, confidence and experience that are essential to successful careers in a broad spectrum of occupations.
• Individuals who began their career in travel have gone on to earn a peak average salary of $82,400 by the time they were 50 years old—higher than those who started in manufacturing, health care and other industries.
• Nearly a third of Americans (31%) re-entering the workforce do so through a job in the travel industry—compared to just 12% in manufacturing and 8% in health care. Travel jobs have the flexibility, availability, diversity and focus on practical skills to launch a rewarding career.
De Bericht enthält och Fallstudien vun Individuen déi Karriär an der Reesindustrie gemaach hunn an hiren amerikaneschen Dram als Resultat erreecht hunn.
"Wéi vill Amerikaner war meng éischt Aarbecht an der Reesindustrie - als Rettungsdéngscht an engem Hotelpool - an et huet mir d'Fundament vu Fäegkeeten a Méiglechkeeten ginn, déi zu enger laanger a belounter Carrière gefouert hunn", sot de President a CEO vun der US Travel Association Roger. Dow. "Rees Industrie Aarbechtsplazen sinn eenzegaarteg zougänglech fir all Amerikaner, a bidden e Wee zu engem zolidd, liewenslaang Liewensstandard. Einfach gesot, Rees ass de Paart zum amerikaneschen Dram.
E puer vun den anere Schlëssel Takeaways aus dem Bericht:
• Travel industry jobs provide flexibility for pursuit of higher education and training. Of the 6.1 million Americans working part-time while pursuing higher education in 2018, more than half were employed in travel-related industries. Nearly one in five (18%) travel industry employees currently attend school, compared to the 8% of workers attending school in other sectors of the economy.
• The travel industry is diverse and accessible compared to other industries. Nearly half (46%) of travel industry employees have a high school degree or less, compared to 30% of employees of the rest of the economy. Travel also has a greater share of Hispanics, African Americans and multi-ethnic individuals than the rest of the economy.
• Experience in travel fosters entrepreneurs. Seventeen percent of Americans whose first job was in travel now own their own business, and 19% consider themselves entrepreneurs—again, a higher figure than manufacturing and health care. Of women who started their career in the travel industry, 14% now consider themselves entrepreneurs, compared to only 10% of those who started out in health care.
• The travel industry fills the skills gap. Through training, education, certification programs and firsthand experience, the industry is providing resources and opportunities for high school and college students, minorities, females and individuals with barriers to employment such as the lack of a formal education.
"D'Statistike si genial, awer et ass wann Dir d'Profiler liest datt de richtegen Impakt vun der Reesindustrie op Aarbechtsplazen kloer gëtt," sot den Dow. "Jidderee vun de Geschichte bitt e Snapshot vum Potenzial, deen d'Reesindustrie hält fir jiddereen deen e staarkt Liewen verfollege wëllt.
"Dëse Bericht verstäerkt weider d'Tatsaach datt Reesen op d'Aarbechtsplazen an d'Wirtschaft an eisem Land wichteg ass, an eis Regierung soll Pro-Rees Politik prioritär stellen fir sécherzestellen datt d'Industrie weider wuessen."
De Bericht baséiert haaptsächlech op Daten vum Bureau of Labor Statistics National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth 1979 an 1997 fir de Karriärwee vun Individuen ze entdecken deenen hir éischt Aarbecht an der Reesindustrie war.
