(ZEROHEDGE) – The restaurant industry lost 17,400 jobs in November, according to new data from the U.S. Department of Labor released on Friday.
It was the first monthly decline in the number of restaurant workers since April, suggesting that a renewed virus and state shutdowns of dine-in service are taking their toll.
The data is likely to increase pressure on Congress and the president to approve a new stimulus package, one that includes specific aid to independent restaurants that have been devastated by the pandemic.
