Restaurant Sales Start to Rebound

March retail sales certainly rebounded, and it looks like restaurants are enjoying some improving sales figures as well. According to data from the NPD Group restaurant sales were up 1% in March after declining 2.9% in 2009.

The industry is also adding jobs, with 42,500 new ones coming on board during the first three months of this year. Those figures are down, though, by 251,000 since December 2007.
