Support for the industry

The US House of Representatives has passed a bill to re-up the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF) that would allocate $42bn to cover grants for the roughly 17,7000 restaurants that had their applications put on hold when the program ran out of funding last year. At the time of going to press the bill had not reached the Senate, where it was expected to be met with some push-back. Another proposal hit the US House of


Representatives floor – this one would provide three-year visas to non-citizens taking jobs in the restaurant industry. The Essential Workers for Economic Advancement Act would initially provide visas for 65,000 workers in the program’s first year and up to 85,000 in later years.
