Food services and drinking places provided many young people with their first jobs-in 2002, more than 22 percent of workers in these establishments were aged 16 to 19, almost 5 times the proportion for all industries.
Cooks, waiters and waitresses, and combined food preparation and serving workers comprised more than half of industry employment.
About 2 out of 5 employees worked part time, more than twice the proportion for all industries.
Job opportunities will be plentiful because the large number of young and part-time workers in the industry will generate substantial replacement needs.
