Of the 172,000 jobs added to the U.S. economy in May, 70,000 were in leisure and hospitality. Summer travel season is coming up — not to mention the restaurants, hotels, and bars gearing up for the World Cup.Anxious consumers may be opting out of certain splurges this summer. Even so: “They love going out to eat, and we've seen that prioritization,” said Chad Moutray, chief economist at the National Restaurants Association. “I think that really speaks to why restaurants have done so well when it has come to hiring, even in the midst of all of this economic uncertainty.”Moutray said some of the May jobs bump could be from the upcoming travel season. This year, that includes the World Cup, which is coming to North America in June. Abbie Byrom-Botello runs Truth BBQ in Houston, Texas — one of the competition’s host cities.“We are big partners in NRG Stadium, so we've been staffing up for FIFA, so we've had to hire,” she said. “It takes us 12 to 16 people to run a FIFA game effectively.” But not all are staffing up. “I don't have any idea what's going to happen,” said Tracy Vaught with H Town Restaurant Group, which has restaurants across Houston. “We talk about it almost daily, and it's just confusing. It's very hard to predict what's going to happen, because some folks are saying that the hotels aren't fully booked.” She said sales could roar at certain times, “and crickets other times.”Right now, Vaught isn’t staffing up. The same goes for Dina Samson, who runs Rossoblu in downtown Los Angeles.“Hopefully all the people coming to town will make us busier, but, I don't — I'm definitely not hiring,” she said, even though she’s partnering with FIFA to do a pizza party event. “I know a lot of my friends are not hiring.”Samson said the event is coming after a slower year for restaurants there. “Downtown took a big hit last year with everything that was going on with ICE and the riots downtown,” she said.Even if they’re not staffing up, Samson said restaurant owners like her are hoping the World Cup will provide a much needed boost.
