New spending on restaurants and travel in Wichita could return jobs in that sector to near pre-pandemic levels by the end of the year, and employment in aviation manufacturing could rebound faster than expected by the summer. Those are among the findings of an updated employment forecast for Wichita’s economy from Wichita State University’s Center for Economic Development and Business Research. Local employment in the Wichita area could increase by 3.1% from the end of 2020 to the end of 2021. That’s a jump up from the 0.7% employment growth the Center forecast in January.
