New York gambling jobs expected to outpace other sectors

As the state of New York dives deeper into the gambling industry, more opportunities will pop up for its citizens. Yahoo Finance recently put out an infographic declaring the gambling industry to be the fastest growing job sector in the Empire State.

Yahoo reached their conclusions based on Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and Projects Managing Partnership (PMP), and based their infographic based on growth rate for each job title.

The conclusions they drew from the PMP report can be drilled down to, and it shows impressive growth for all gaming related positions. That report forecasts how many projected jobs there will be across all industries by 2026.

They expect there will be 1,460 gaming dealers by that date, which represents a 31.5% increase from the status quo. Considering expected turnover, they expect 230 openings for that position each year until 2026. They expect the same number of cashier openings each year, with 34% growth for that position.
