According to the United States Department of Labor, employment of chefs will increase 38% by the year 2005. The food service industry already employs over 9 million people, and the National Restaurant Association predicts that 3.5 million new jobs will be created in this same time-frame. The need for trained people is the single biggest challenge facing the restaurant industry today. This means that the best trained chefs will command increasing salaries and benefits in the years to come.
