In our latest survey, KURU Footwear takes a deep dive into restaurant workers’ mental and physical health.
By: KURU Footwear
The restaurant industry took a hit when COVID-19 first swept the nation, and we’re still learning how these effects have played out in a post-pandemic world. But just how are restaurant workers feeling now—four years later?
As a follow up to our 2023 Restaurant Worker Survey, we wanted to take a closer look at restaurant workers’ job satisfaction trends—from their emotional well being to the prevalence of work-related injuries to which factors matter most for job fulfillment.
Why this study? At KURU Footwear, we care about foot health and how it impacts people’s daily lives. Those who work long hours on their feet on hard floors (think restaurant workers) are particularly at risk for foot pain conditions such as plantar fasciitis and foot-related injuries. As we continue our mission to eliminate foot pain, we work to stay on top of industry trends that affect our customers. Chefs and servers—this one’s for you!
So just how do restaurant workers feel about their jobs in 2024?
