Since the return of Macau，the tourism industry in Macau has developed rapidly and the number of employed population has increased substantially. Through analysis，it is found that although there are some differences between the sub-industries of Macau tourism industry，the overall characteristics of the employed population include low quality，young age，short duration in present job，low level of education，long hours worked，low salary and high percentage of non-local workers. These characteristics and problems of the catering industry are the most prominent. On one hand，the labor supply is relatively stable and talent training is insufficient. On the other hand，there are more vacancies，more serious brain drain，and a higher turnover rate of the employed. In order to build a “World Tourism and Leisure Center” in Macau，the tourism industry will surely expand its scale and improve its quality. Therefore，in the future，the supply of both ordinary laborers and talented people cannot meet the demand of the industrial development. Raising the industrial level to make tourism a technological- and human capital-intensive industry，combining local training with the introduction of outstanding talents from other regions to improve the quality of employed people and continuously introducing foreign workers as useful supplements will be the major ways to solve this problem.
