Despite ranking 42nd in the nation in revenue growth, Iowa’s restaurant industry outpaced predictions for job growth in 2014, according to a news release from the Iowa Restaurant Association. Posting only a 2.8 percent increase in gross revenues, the food service sector still added more than 2,600 jobs last year, more than twice the projected 1,000 new jobs that was expected. Iowa also is expected to see an additional 12,300 new food service jobs in the coming decade. The jobs include a mix of entry-level and management positions, the release said.
