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.
The resource out of the tourism marketing organization features two databases, one for work opportunities at nearby hotels and the other specifically for restaurants. The page will soon expand to include jobs at museums and tourist attractions, creating a comprehensive guide for those looking for employment in the industry and streamlining the application process.
The tool comes after Philadelphia lost 44,000 leisure and hospitality jobs between February and April as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, noted Jeff Guaracino, CEO of Visit Philly.

To tears from his parishioners, a man of the cloth and for the people of Camden is retiring — at 85
by Valerie Russ,
Msgr. Michael J. Doyle (the Irish Chamber’s 2016 Uachtarán Award honoree) came to Sacred Heart Church in Camden in 1974 and saw a city ravaged by poverty and white flight.
Many of the church’s white parishioners had fled to Pennsauken, or Cherry Hill, or other South Jersey suburbs.
As a result, both the church and Sacred Heart School struggled to stay afloat. About 80% of the school’s current students are not Catholic.
But poverty did not scare Father Michael, as his congregation calls him. He was born in Ireland on a farm, the second of five children.
