Tourists drive the hospitality business into which most chefs and restaurant/hotel managers go. But economically the city is experiencing big growth, another key to boosting the demand for chefs and pastry chefs. Take a look at a few of the major corporations that maintain strongholds in the city: Clear Channel, Microsoft, USAA, and Bank of America.
