Casino Employees, especially Strip Workers are being let go at an alarming rate. Even employees with decades of service are being demoted, laid-off, and even terminated in record numbers.
As “Larry’s Las Vegas” first reported (in our 5/24/08 post), Casino Downsizing is in full effect.
Las Vegas’ Unemployment Rate is at it’s highest in over 10 years.
Casino Downsizing is having a worrisome effect all over Southern Nevada. “Theres just no jobs out there” said Curtis Spurgeon, a Casino Dealer at a “Station’s” Casino. Las Vegans who’ve worked all their lives as dealers and bartenders, are facing the inevitability of pursuing a new line of work.
Las Vegas’ Casino Downsizing started about a month ago and shows no sign of slowing down. What makes this latest round of Casino Downsizing so alarming is that many workers let go have virtually no hope of landing similar jobs anytime soon.
Casino Downsizing may be the reason Nevada ranks 2nd in the U.S. of people on Food Stamps.
