Outlook

Growth for this career is expected to show little to no change. However, as more people dine out, more restaurants are expected to open and will need to hire restaurant hosts.

Job turnover is high due to low wages. Employers will continue to hire young workers who do not have experience. In finer, more expensive restaurants, job turnover will be lower because tips are larger. Competition for these positions will be stronger.
