The casino marketplace has also been very forward-thinking when it comes to hiring and grooming women for leadership roles.
Perhaps equally as important as the number of jobs created is who is filling these positions-staffs at casinos and other wagering facilities are very diverse, with over 45 percent of the combined workforce comprised of minorities and 48 percent of women, both higher than the national average. According to research conducted by the American Gaming Association and Oxford Economics, the gaming industry generates 1.7 million jobs and nearly $74 billion in income for these workers and their families, and is expected to create an additional 62,000 well-paying jobs over the next decade. The modern gaming industry receives a lot of plaudits when it comes to job creation, and this praise is well deserved.
