Restaurateurs Hungry for Workers

The National Restaurant Association predicts that nearly 2 million new restaurant jobs will be needed over the next 10 years.  That doesn't count replacement workers, which by one estimate will be about 5 million. 

Restauranteurs have begun to notice the labor crunch over the past 12 to 18 months.  Many now feel this is the most challenging market since the last 1990's, the tightest labor market in U.S. history.
