Like I wrote in the comment above, it's a never ending discussion, and there are no numbers that people will agree on. So I urge you to look at the cost of living of yourself and people around you, as well as the salaries. A 2024 dollar or euro is maybe worth 50c of a 2020 dollar or euro. The cost of a house has in many places increased by $100 000 during that time, but have the yearly salaries of hospitality workers increased with $25 000?

There is no high demand for hospitality workers. If there was a high demand, then you'd see software engineers quitting their jobs to go work in restaurants and hotels.
