The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is causing a decrease in hotel occupancy rates in the United States. As a result, wages in the hotel sector could also see a drop. If occupancy rates were to drop by 50 percent in the U.S., this would potentially result in a loss of 300 billion U.S. dollars in wages in the hotel sector in 2020.
