Despite the disastrous national economy Louisiana is doing surprisingly better than most states. With an official national unemployment rate of 7.6% (updated for January) and a real unemployment rate of 13.9% (updated for January), Louisiana comes in 16th out of 51, 50 states and D.C., with an official unemployment rate of 5.9%.
The alternative measures of labor underutilization, not seasonally adjusted, Table A-12, measure U-6, is a whopping 15.4% for January!
As of this posting, 10 out of 15 casinos in Louisiana have Table Games jobs posted at their web sites. Positions vary from property to property, but, include both full and part time Dealer positions, Dual Rate Dealer/Floor Supervisor positions, Full Floor Supervisor positions and Poker Dealer positions.
Keep in mind, just because a position is posted does not necessarily mean you have the required amount of experience for the job. On the other hand, you won't know if you don't try.
If you would like a casino dealer job but have no experience consider a job in a different cash handling department with guest contact such as the cage, slots or food & beverage. Eventually, the casino will likely have an in house dealer school which will cost you nothing. In the meantime, you enjoy the benefits of casino employment.
With statewide layoffs hitting the Mississippi casinos now is probably not a good time to try to break in to the business. According to Biloxi Mayor A.J. Holloway, "about 10 percent of the workforce" has been laid off. Break-ins would stand no chance competing against experienced workers with years on the job.
