?Restaurant industry employment growth will outpace overall employment growth for the 13th year in a row this year, illustrating the key role restaurants play in the nation?s economy,? said Hudson Riehle, senior vice president of the research and knowledge group for the Association.

Riehle added, ?The boost of this year?s 450,000 summer jobs will propel total eating and drinking place employment to its highest on record. Overall, America?s nearly one million restaurants employ nearly 10 percent of the nation?s overall workforce.??
