Instawork, the leading platform for connecting businesses with skilled workers, announced today the platform's availability to local businesses in Baltimore. This announcement comes as a recent study found that 67% of hospitality businesses reported not having enough staff to meet demand.
Baltimore businesses are anticipating a surge in customers as tourism is expected to rebound after a tumultuous two years. On average, more than 26 million travelers visit Baltimore each year, which can bring over $11 billion in spending to the state.
Instawork helps ensure Baltimore businesses have necessary staffing. More than 40,000 people have already downloaded the Instawork app, which hourly workers can use to make an average of $18.71 per hour, 49% above the local minimum wage. Pros can easily create a profile, find a shift that matches their skills and interests, and start working in as little as 24 hours.
Hourly professionals (Instawork Pros) using Instawork experience:
