Visit Philadelphia has launched an online platform centralizing open jobs in Greater Philadelphia’s tourism and hospitality industry to help people get back to work as the region navigates its Covid-19 recovery.

This case could adversely affect businesses and companies throughout Pennsylvania that operate through multiple entities, to include real estate owners/developers, healthcare providers, hotel owners, and retail stores.
