New York City Hotels Still Need More Bookings to Bring Back Furloughed Staff

As of May, only 16,000 of New York City's hotel and motel workers had returned to their jobs, as per the state's Department of Labor. Of course, part of the reason hotel workers aren't back in full force is that not all New York City hotels have reopened. As of late June, average hotel room rates in New York City had risen to $194 per night after plunging last year.
