But muh conventions! They sustained 200 minimum wage jobs this week!
They do a lot more than that. I used to own a couple stores in the Riverwalk and lived off of the conventions for 10 years.

I worked in the HR office for the CVB during college. An event for at the convention center that would host 10k people in 2 halls would employ well over 1000 at the Convention center alone - which includes Freeman who sets up bo0ths, food and beverage, banquet workers, security, maintenance, audio visual, IT ect. Most of these jobs were union based and these workers made well over min. wage. This was about 8 years ago when the city was on the rebuild. Now there is are huge conventions every week. Don't underestimate the man power for putting on one of these thing.
