Outlook
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) predicts little or no change in employment for hosts and hostesses from 2023 through 2033. Despite this prediction, job opportunities will be good because the field is large (435,600 workers in 2023) and many workers leave this occupation each year for better-paying careers.
Hosts and hostesses with related work experience and excellent customer service skills will have the best opportunities at upscale restaurants.
