Employment of hotel desk clerks is expected to grow by 7 percent from 2023 through 2033, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook. This is faster than the average for all careers. Jobs will be most plentiful with hotels located in busy urban areas, where there tend to be higher turnover rates. Opportunities will also be good at extended-stay and budget hotels. Hotel desk clerks at these facilities are generally responsible for a wider range of duties, such as business and concierge-related services.
There should continue to be opportunities because more hotels are being built and because there is high turnover in this field since many clerks leave the field as a result of retirement or for higher-paying jobs. Others remain in the hospitality industry, but advance to higher-level positions.
