guests, but also for the 8.3 million people whose jobs we support. That’s more than one in every 25 American jobs. Hotels contribute nearly $660 billion to the U.S. GDP. And with lifelong careers and upward mobility, we have the unique ability to provide our employees the chance to achieve the American Dream.<p>The hotel industry is growing at a significant pace, adding 160,000 new jobs since 2015. People are at the core of our industry, which is why we are an above-minimum wage employer. Our industry supports competitive wages with good benefits for our employees. Indeed, hotel industry compensation increased to $97.2 billion in 2018, a 16 percent increase since 2015. <p>Unfortunately, in some markets local and state governments have proposed wage increases that target only the hotel industry. In some cases, local wage ordinances have even included opt-out provisions for unionized workplaces, giving labor an unfair advantage. These provisions are discriminatory and disrupt the well-established balance between management and labor laid out by federal labor law. Our industry will continue to fight for a fair and equitable working environment for both employees and employers.<p> </div></div><div class="span6 negoff1 l"><img alt="Upward Mobility"height=849 src=/sites/default/files/styles/full_crop/public/2016-10/iStock_25720420_SMALL.jpg?itok=c49onOT2 typeof=foaf:Image width=564></div></div></div></div><div class="row-flush bucket bucket-id-1"><div class="one-col row"><div class=row><div class=inner><h3>AHLA Position</h3><p>AHLA views local wage initiatives that target only hotels as a direct attack on the hotel industry and will continue to oppose theses efforts.
