Abstract

The foodservice industry is currently facing serious labor shortages in many segments and areas of the country. To ease the labor shortage, an increasing number of older workers are being recruited into the hospitality industry. Hospitality program graduates will be hiring and managing a greater number of older employees in the future. The overall objective of this study was to determine attitudes of senior level hospitality management students towards older workers.
