VER THE LAST TWO YEARS (May 2012 to May 2014) the Leisure and Hospitality (LH) sector in the Pittsburgh region posted a jump of 10,300 jobs to stand at 125,800 in May of this year. That represents a 9.4 percent increase. Those are remarkably strong numbers, especially in light of the fact that total private sector employment climbed by just 10,000 (one percent) over the same 24 month period. In any event, LH jobs growth exceeded the gain reported for the entire private sector. Meanwhile, Construction and Professional and Business Services also registered solid increases. On the other hand, Manufacturing and Educational Services, Retail Trade, Information, Transportation and Utilities and other services all lost jobs over the period offsetting the meager gains in the sectors that did grow along with LH's very strong performance. Looking at growth since 2010 when the economy of the region began to recover from the 2008-2009 recession, we find the LH sector has been an outstanding jobs producer adding 14,800 jobs (to be sure many of these jobs tend to be low paying relative to the average private job and many are part-time). This represents a 13.3 percent four year gain and accounts for just under 30 percent of the 53,400 (5.4 percent) growth in total private employment over the period. Bear in mind that LH accounts for only 11 percent of all private jobs making its contribution to recent total employment gains extremely noteworthy and important. And even more intriguing is the truly extraordinarily rapid expansion of the sub category of LH known as the Arts, Recreation and Entertainment (ARE) group. The sub category includes performing arts, spectator sports, musical groups, Continued on Page 2
