What is going on with the restaurant labor market?
About this episode
Chad Moutray discusses the recent changes in the restaurant labor market and the implications of the latest jobs report.
What the heck is going on with the restaurant labor market right now? This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Chad Moutray, chief economist with the National Restaurant Association. We wanted Moutray on the podcast to make some sense of the most recent jobs report. The industry shed 33,000 jobs in June, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics cut the previous month’s estimate by 10,000 jobs. That turned what had been a seemingly improving labor market into a weaker one. Moutray helps us understand these numbers and what they say about the restaurant industry at the moment. We also talk about the economy and many other issues. We’re talking about the labor market on A Deeper Dive so please check it out.
