Active jobs in transport, travel and tourism have decreased by 5.3% in the past 12 months, stalling after reaching a five-year high of 77,814 hirings in July 2022.
This dip contradicts an overall trend of increasing job hirings in the transport sector, which have risen by 350% since June 2020.
Various factors are behind this rising trend, above all the “post-Covid rebound,” which saw travel and tourism industry job hirings skyrocket after months of stagnancy.
