“With football venues projected to operate at full capacity and the holiday season just around the corner, local hotels and restaurants are in desperate need of job applicants to fill open positions,” Donny Jones, Chief Operating Officer at The Chamber and Executive Director at West AlabamaWorks, said in the release. “The hospitality and tourism industries are the lifeblood of our local communities. There are incredible opportunities for those seeking jobs in this field right here in West Alabama.”
