ORLANDO, Fla. – Though the theme park and attractions industry is still feeling the impacts of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, a new study shows Florida is doing comparatively better than most other states.
The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, or IAPPA, released a new study that observes how the pandemic has affected employment within the industry.
The study, conducted by an IAPPA historian, uses data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and compares employment numbers from 2019 and 2020.
IAPPA found the attractions and theme park industry experienced anemployment loss five times more than the average employment loss across all other industries. [TRENDING: Tiger Woods’ leg shattered in rollover crash | Orl
