Power Breakfast: Flood of job applications, Toyota recall, Coke, Beltline, Citi, Greece
It’s yet another sign of the very tough job market.
In the past two weeks, a luxury Midtown hotel has received between 8,000 and 10,000 applications to fill 250 jobs, AJC staffer Mashaun Simon reports. Loews Atlanta is scheduled for an April 1 grand opening.
“It is not unusual to have 5,000 or so applications,” Dale McDaniel, hotel general manager, told Simon. “But it is a sign of the times. A lot of people have been laid-off in the business.”
The hospitality industry has been one of the hardest hit industries in the economic slump, McDaniel said.
