New analysis from OysterLink reveals that searches and applications for restaurant and hospitality jobs reached their highest point in five years this July. Both OysterLink's internal platform data and Google Trends nationwide search interest confirm that demand for these positions surged to record levels, marking the strongest year-over-year growth since 2020.
Searches for terms like “restaurant jobs,” “jobs in hospitality,” and “jobs in restaurant near me”, “server jobs”, etc., all spiked in July. Geographic data shows especially strong interest in states such as Rhode Island, Washington D.C., Colorado, New York, Florida, Nevada, and Hawaii. This surge mirrors OysterLink's own activity, where applications for entry-level positions rose significantly during July.
“Hospitality has always been a major entry point into the workforce, and applications for entry-level positions surged this summer, underscoring how essential these jobs remain for both workers and employers,” said Milos Eric, General Manager at OysterLink.
