Survey Says: Missouri Casinos are a Good Place to Work
14 July 2005
Missouri’s eleven casinos employ about 11,200 workers. In a poll of 4,000 employees, researchers for the Missouri Riverboat Gaming Association (MRGA) discovered that 82% of casino workers feel positively about their jobs. Conversely, among Missouri's general population, fewer than 60% of workers were satisfied with their jobs, as ascertained by similar research.
Almost 75% of employees of Missouri casinos received pay raises in 2004, and 80% expect to receive pay raises in 2005. 78% of the casino workers said that they were happier working for casinos than they had been in their previous jobs.
As to benefits, 67% said that medical benefits were at least as good as the benefits in previous jobs, and 39% said that the benefits were better. Seventy-three percent said that casinos offer at least as good a retirement plan as their previous employers, with 41% saying that the retirement plan was better. Overall, casinos seem to be improving life for their employees, with 3% more employees saying that they are not struggling to make ends meet and 4% more moving to better housing than in a similar survey performed in 2002.
