• Travel is the No. 1 industry for first jobs. Nearly four in 10 workers got their start in travel and tourism. Moreover, they are good first jobs that give workers skills, confidence and experience that are essential to successful careers in a broad spectrum of occupations.
• Individuals who began their career in travel have gone on to earn a peak average salary of $82,400 by the time they were 50 years old—higher than those who started in manufacturing, health care and other industries.
• Nearly a third of Americans (31%) re-entering the workforce do so through a job in the travel industry—compared to just 12% in manufacturing and 8% in health care. Travel jobs have the flexibility, availability, diversity and focus on practical skills to launch a rewarding career.
O le lipoti o loʻo aofia ai foʻi suʻesuʻega faʻataʻitaʻiga o tagata taʻitoʻatasi o loʻo tulituliloaina galuega i pisinisi femalagaaʻi ma ausia a latou miti Amerika ona o se taunuuga.
“E pei o le toatele o tagata Amerika, o la’u galuega muamua lava sa i le pisinisi femalagaa’i—o se leoleo ola i se vaitaele faletalimalo—ma na ou maua ai le faavae o tomai ma avanoa e taitai atu ai i se galuega umi ma tauia,” o le saunoaga lea a le Peresetene ma le Pule Sili o le US Travel Association, Roger.

I se faaupuga faigofie, o femalagaaiga o le faitotoa lea i le miti Amerika.
O nisi o faʻamatalaga taua mai le lipoti:
• Travel industry jobs provide flexibility for pursuit of higher education and training. Of the 6.1 million Americans working part-time while pursuing higher education in 2018, more than half were employed in travel-related industries. Nearly one in five (18%) travel industry employees currently attend school, compared to the 8% of workers attending school in other sectors of the economy.
• The travel industry is diverse and accessible compared to other industries. Nearly half (46%) of travel industry employees have a high school degree or less, compared to 30% of employees of the rest of the economy. Travel also has a greater share of Hispanics, African Americans and multi-ethnic individuals than the rest of the economy.
• Experience in travel fosters entrepreneurs. Seventeen percent of Americans whose first job was in travel now own their own business, and 19% consider themselves entrepreneurs—again, a higher figure than manufacturing and health care. Of women who started their career in the travel industry, 14% now consider themselves entrepreneurs, compared to only 10% of those who started out in health care.
• The travel industry fills the skills gap. Through training, education, certification programs and firsthand experience, the industry is providing resources and opportunities for high school and college students, minorities, females and individuals with barriers to employment such as the lack of a formal education.
"O fuainumera e mataʻutia, ae o le taimi e te faitau ai i faʻamatalaga e manino ai le aafiaga moni o le pisinisi femalagaaʻi i galuega," o le tala lea a Dow. "O tala taʻitasi e maua ai se ata o le gafatia o loʻo umia e le pisinisi femalagaaʻi mo soʻo se tasi e manaʻo e tulituliloa se olaga malosi.
“O lenei lipoti ua atili faʻamalosia ai le mea moni o femalagaaiga i galuega ma le tamaoaiga i totonu o lo tatou atunuu, ma e tatau i le tatou malo ona faʻamuamua faiga faʻavae mo femalagaaiga ina ia mautinoa o loʻo faʻaauau pea le faʻatupulaia o pisinisi."
