BLS data shows leisure and hospitality employs 9.5% of workers with disabilities – higher than finance, tech, or government, as analyzed by OysterLink<\/p>\n

New York, New York–(Newsfile Corp. – September 18, 2025) – \u00a0OysterLink<\/a>, a hospitality jobs and networking platform, released an analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data showing that people with disabilities accounted for 9.5% of all leisure and hospitality employees in 2024<\/b>. This representation is slightly higher than the overall workforce average (8.7%) and above industries such as financial activities (5.8%), information (1.7%), and government (5.4%).<\/p>\n

“Hospitality has long been one of the most accessible industries for people with disabilities – offering roles in restaurants, hotels, and entertainment that don’t always require advanced degrees but provide meaningful career paths,” said Milos Eric, Co-founder and General Manager of OysterLink<\/b>. “This data reinforces the importance of the sector as a driver of inclusion and opportunity.”<\/p>\n

The BLS report also shows that women with disabilities are well-represented in hospitality, accounting for 10% of the workforce<\/b>, slightly higher than men with disabilities at 8.9%.<\/p>\n

OysterLink emphasizes that as the hospitality industry continues to rebuild its workforce, supporting employees with disabilities through inclusive hiring practices, accessible workplace design, and training opportunities<\/b> can strengthen retention and broaden the industry’s talent pool.<\/p>\n

“Behind every percentage point are thousands of workers who contribute to the guest experience daily,” Eric added. “Making hospitality more inclusive isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s also the smart thing to do for an industry that thrives on diversity and service.”<\/p>\n
