Between 2010 and 2017, the number of restaurant jobs in this income range jumped 71 percent. In comparison, the total number of jobs in the economy with incomes in this range rose just 21 percent.<br \/>\nEmployment of food preparation and serving related occupations is projected to grow 9% through 2029, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Population and income growth are the main reason for this greater consumer demand for food, resulting in more restaurants and grocery stores.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; margin-bottom: 20px;\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"media-credit-container alignleft\"  style=\"max-width: 1034px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19810\" src=\"http:\/\/foodsafetytrainingcourses.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/fast_food_vendor_food_safety_illness_0006_shutterstock_184907480.jpg\" alt=\"fast_food_vendor_food_safety_illness\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"http:\/\/foodsafetytrainingcourses.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/fast_food_vendor_food_safety_illness_0006_shutterstock_184907480.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/foodsafetytrainingcourses.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/fast_food_vendor_food_safety_illness_0006_shutterstock_184907480-225x150.jpg 225w, http:\/\/foodsafetytrainingcourses.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/fast_food_vendor_food_safety_illness_0006_shutterstock_184907480-125x83.jpg 125w, http:\/\/foodsafetytrainingcourses.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/fast_food_vendor_food_safety_illness_0006_shutterstock_184907480-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/foodsafetytrainingcourses.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/fast_food_vendor_food_safety_illness_0006_shutterstock_184907480-660x440.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><span class=\"media-credit\">Image Source: Shutterstock<\/span>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div style=\"clear: both; margin-bottom: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<h3>Restaurant Review Statistics<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>92 percent of consumers <a href=\"https:\/\/upserve.com\/restaurant-insider\/digital-marketing-restaurants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" rel=\"nofollow\" >read restaurant reviews<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>77 percent <a href=\"https:\/\/upserve.com\/restaurant-insider\/digital-marketing-restaurants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" rel=\"nofollow\" >prefer peer reviews<\/a> versus critic reviews.<\/li>\n<li>33 percent would never eat a restaurant with <a href=\"https:\/\/upserve.com\/restaurant-insider\/digital-marketing-restaurants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" rel=\"nofollow\" >less than four stars<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>On-the-Job Training<\/h3>\n<p>Once you have a food safety training or certification, you will still have to learn the ropes of your new food service job.
