New England Feeding New England hosted a Quarterly Update Meeting in November 2021. Scott Sawyer shared estimates of the number of jobs and establishments that exist in the food system in each of the six states and aggregated as a 6-state region. The research shows that across New England, over 897,000 people worked in the food system in 2020, down from a pre-pandemic high of 1.05 million (or 9.4% of all private sector jobs in 2019). Post-pandemic, most of the these jobs are expected to return since the largest number of job losses were in the restaurant industry, which was hit hardest by COVID shut-downs. The research also reveals that there were over 121,000 establishments in the food system as of the end of 2020. WATCH HERE >>
