Earnings and Working Conditions

Earnings of workers in the lodging industry depend on the location, size, and type of the establishment in which they work. Large luxury hotels and those located in metropolitan and resort areas generally pay their employees more than less expensive hotels located in less populated areas. Workers in some occupations receive tips in addition to wages that add substantially to their incomes.

Salaries of hotel managers and assistants are particularly dependent upon the size and sales volume of the hotel and vary greatly because of differences in duties and responsibilities. Hotel manager trainees who are graduates of specialized college programmes generally start at around $14,000 a year and usually are given periodic increases for the first year or two. Experienced managers may earn several times as much as beginners. Managers may also earn bonuses ranging from ten to twenty per cent of basic salary in some establishments. In addition to salary, lodging establishments furnish managers and their families with lodging on the premises, meals, parking facilities, laundry, and other services.
