Topic: Casinos in Atlantic City close, 5,000 workers out of work - page 2. (Read 1334 times)
I hate gambling it's a good thing to hear as a hater of gambling but sad news more than 5k loose their living.
Other jurisdictions close by (PA, DE, and NY) have implemented casino gambling so many have no reason to travel to AC to gamble. The same companies are opening those places so the workers often move around to whatever is hot at the moment.
It could be that being part of some of these unions gives the workers a sense of over-confidence in terms of how secure they feel in their employment or how they spend their money or save any of it. Far more people than we know live paycheck to paycheck and that's something that just doesn't make any sense to me. I try to save at least a quarter of what I earn and in many cases, much more than that.
Stock Market adjustment, then hopefully a return to Gold and Silver.Its gotta reset at some point soon.by the way....good time to invest in bitcoin and Silver.
Agreed great time to buy a both, but not all at once and hold.
It's never wise to live paycheck to paycheck but I feel very sorry for these folks. I don't think they had any warning. There have been several massive layoffs lately which tell me the economy is not nearly as good as the politicians would have us believe.

How do they do that without a job?This idiot is just making a "constructive" post in order to get a little more mBTC on his dicebitco.in monthly shill campaign.. It's sad really when people just spout random nonsense without actually typing anything worth reading.
I feel bad for these people. It's a sad time when you lose your job due to circumstances that were not under your control. That being said hopefully a large % of them are able to find work fast.
actually they could always use some of their unemployment money and learn to live on less IMO.
I've never understood how those casinos stay in business. Every time we've went to Vegas or Atlantic City the hotel and meals and drinks and shows, even those super cushy bathrobes are comped on our bill. All it ever cost was what we took to the tables.

Atlantic City casino closures bring mass unemployment filing
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – Carrying identification documents and bitterness over their sudden joblessness, hundreds of ex-casino workers began filing for unemployment Wednesday morning, the first attendees at an assistance center that expects to process 5,000 newly laid-off workers over the next three days.
The session at the Atlantic City Convention Center came after a brutal weekend that saw two casinos, the Showboat and Revel, close. Officials from the state Department of Labor and the main casino workers' union, Local 54 of Unite-HERE, helped displaced workers file for unemployment and gave them information on signing up for health insurance and other benefits.
By mid-September, Atlantic City, which started the year with 12 casinos, will be down to eight, and almost 8,000 people will be out of work. Trump Plaza is closing Sept. 16, and the Atlantic Club shut down in January.
About 300 workers were lined up when the doors opened at 9 a.m.; by early afternoon more than 750 had been processed.
