The hotel and restaurant sector in Pakistan has now become one of the country’s biggest sources of employment, even larger than government offices in terms of workforce numbers.
According to recent data shared by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, the food and hospitality industry employs 991,371 workers, while government offices employ 823,395 people. This shows how quickly the sector has grown and how important it has become for job creation in Pakistan.
The rise of hotels and restaurants highlights the changing trend in the country’s job market. More and more people are finding opportunities in private businesses rather than relying only on government jobs.
From waiters and chefs to managers and event organizers, the hospitality industry offers a wide range of employment options for both skilled and unskilled workers.
This growth also shows the increasing demand for dining, tourism, and hospitality services in Pakistan. As lifestyles change and more people spend on food and leisure, businesses in this sector are expanding, which in turn creates more jobs. Many young people see this industry as a chance to build their careers, gain experience, and even start their own businesses in the future.
Economists believe that the hospitality and food service industry has become an important part of Pakistan’s economy. Not only does it provide jobs, but it also encourages entrepreneurship and attracts investments.
