Our work in building out the resources per industry are just getting started. We’d love your help in building out resources tailored to each industry.
Key STATISTICS
Hospitality workers may be more susceptible to harassment due to their reliance on tips and extra shifts to earn a living.
Initial research from workers in the hospitality industry found that 89% said they had experienced one or more incidents of sexual harassment while working.
Recent data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show that women represent the majority of workers in the accommodation and food services industry, often in lower-paying jobs such as food servers and preparers.
