Time, Work, and Leisure: Trends That Will Shape the Hospitality Industry

The Pennsylvania State University

Americans' use and perception of time will influence the future of the hospitality industry. During the last few decades, it appears that hours of work have declined, measured either as hours of work for those in the labor force or as a percentage of all the hours of an individual's life. Public perception, however, is that hours of work are increasing. There is overwhelming evidence that Americans feel more rushed than in the past and that the pace of life is speeding up. Important changes in the nature of both work and leisure are examined, and implications for the hospitality industry drawn.
