Made in America: Travel's Contribution to Workforce Development and Career Advancement Report, U.S. Travel Association, May 7, 2019. Also: https://www.ustravel.org/research/made-america-travels-contribution-workforce-development-and-career-advancement Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: U.S. Travel Association Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Educational Attainment; Income; Occupational Choice Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This report, based in part on data from the NLSY79 and NLSY97 datasets, looks at how travel industry jobs influence workforce development and career advancement. Key highlights include: Americans whose first job was in travel went on to earn a maximum average salary of $82,400 by the time they were 50 years old--higher than workers whose first jobs were in manufacturing, health care and most other industries. The travel industry is one of the top 10 largest employers of middle-class wage earners in the U.S. Of the 6.1 million Americans working part time while pursuing higher education in 2018, more than half were employed in travel-related industries. Among workers who began their careers in the travel industry, nearly one-third (32%) eventually earned at least a bachelor's degree. |
