Pit Bosses

Employment of gambling managers (including pit bosses) is projected to grow by 5 percent (about as fast as the average) from 2023 through 2033, according to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Job opportunities will be driven by the increased popularity of casinos and other gambling establishments. States that do not currently have legalized gaming may allow new casinos to be built over the next decade in an effort to bring in more tax revenues. This could bring new jobs in the future. It should be noted that younger gaming customers appear to prefer more interactive table games in relation to slot machines. What this might mean is that some casinos might swap out some of their slot machines to make room for more table games. That would result in an increased need for pit bosses.

The DOL cautions that "as more states approve expansions in the number of physical and online gambling establishments, the competition for customers will increase. Establishments that fail to keep or attract customers may close, thereby negating some of the jobs created."
