13A: Workforce Study

13A: Leisure/Hospitality/Tourism Workforce Study

Conduct a study to better understand the state of the industry employment, including workforce attraction and retention as well as forecasted employment supply and demand. Use this information to address employment challenges and to better understand the role of the industry in career pathways.

Value to the Community

More than 60,000 Indy residents are employed in jobs directly supported by visitors, including more than 32,000 in the accommodation and food services industry. Understanding the needs of this workforce and career pathways available will improve tourism's direct benefits to residents.

Value to the Hospitality Industry

As public policy embraces living wage jobs and career pathways, we must understand the opportunities and challenges facing the industry so that we can address these community needs or risk being challenged as a pillar of future economic development policies.
