WAITER OR WAITRESS
Outlook
Even though people cut back on going out to eat during a recession, they may only switch from going out for dinner to going out for lunch. More affluent families and more people over fifty-five will keep the demand for eating out growing. The turnover in this industry is high, and new opportunities constantly present themselves.
