Galveston has experienced a big swing in its unemployment rate.
In April 2020, it soared to 19.2%. Last month, it was at 6.9%.
A big reason for the decline is the re-emergence of hospitality jobs. Even more are coming soon.
Cruises are scheduled to restart in three weeks. Many industry companies are hiring now.

There's even an ABC13 viewer hotline you can call for help. The number is 832-849-0480. The ABC13 viewer hotline is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.
