Job Outlook

Employment of gaming services workers is projected to grow 5 percent from 2018 to 2028, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Growth will vary by detailed occupation (see table). Employment will be driven by the increasing popularity of gambling establishments. Additional states currently without commercial gaming establishments may allow new casinos to be built over the next decade in an effort to bring in more tax revenue. As more states approve expansions in the number of gaming establishments, the competition for customers will increase. Those establishments that fail to keep or attract customers may close, thereby negating some of the jobs created from new casinos.
