A new economic report reveals challenges facing the restaurant industry. The Texas Restaurant Association's second-quarter survey results show restaurant operators' top concerns. Immigration enforcement and insurance costs are major issues affecting staff. Nearly half of Texas restaurants lack the workforce they need to succeed.

A significant number of restaurants have lost employees due to immigration enforcement. The association represents 58,000 restaurants across the state. Further details on the survey results are available from the Texas Restaurant Association.

The report's findings have raised concerns among industry representatives, who find the numbers shocking. More information on the report and its implications can be found through the association.
