According to New Statesman analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data, traditional US tourism destinations such as Kahului, Hawaii, New York City, New York and Boston, Massachusetts, saw average monthly employment reductions of 50 per cent to 65 per cent in the leisure and hospitality industry from June to October compared to the same period in 2019. But not every area is experiencing such dismal downturns in employment associated with tourism and entertainment. In fact, some metro areas have seen upticks. Out of the 356 US metro areas with leisure and hospitality data available, 18 show average monthly increases in employment for June to October 2020 when compared to the same months in 2019. Nearly all of those metro areas have small or mid-sized populations, with the exception of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which is considered a large metro area. Lancaster experienced the smallest increase in leisure and hospitality employment (0.27 per cent) of the 18 metros that recorded average monthly increases.
