The restaurant industry marked the 32nd consecutive month of employment gains in August — a stretch that has resulted in nearly 2.6 million more restaurant workers. About 14,900 net jobs were filled in August, according to preliminary data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The findings were in line with the pace of hiring between April and July when payrolls expanded by an average of about 15,000 jobs each month. As noted by the National Restaurant Association, the industry continues to inch closer to pre-pandemic employment levels. About 12.31 million workers were employed by the restaurant industry at the end of August, just a few thousand short of the 12.34 employees seen in February 2020. Data from the BLS’ Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) further shows that the rapid turnover seen in the restaurant industry during the last three years may finally be leveling off. The total number of separations in the accommodation and food services sector fell to 733,000 in July, down from 836,000 in July 20222. The number of separations was actually even below February 2020, when 883,000 foodservice workers left their jobs, signaling that labor conditions are returning to normal.

Awards and agreements usually include a list of classifications that determine an employee’s minimum wage based on the type of duties they perform or training they have. For example, under the Restaurant Award, there are various classification streams. In the food and beverage stream, a grade 1 food and beverage attendant is someone who engages in duties like picking up glasses, removing food plates or setting and wiping down tables.
