It’s the same in any affected resort. The issue with both Disneyland and Disney World is that the areas immediately surrounding them are entirely dependent on the presence of each resort. So many hospitality jobs, even those not employed by Disney, are predicated entirely on Disney operating at close to its normal capacity. Anyone still looking for a job in the same industry will need to look into the larger city nearby as a whole.
To be honest, though, the hospitality industry is currently DOA. Florida’s in better shape right now, but capacity and demand is significantly lower. It’s going to take years for anyone to recover fully. Most laid off employees are better off looking for employment in a different industry.
This isn't getting laid off and finding another similar job. This is getting laid off and figuring out how to move your family to a different city with work unrelated to the travel business. And this is hitting the lowest paid workers. We really need more stimulus for this group.
