This info comes from:

The report was produced by PriceWaterhouse on behalf of the AGA - American
Gaming Ass.  Given that they're casino industry numbers, we can assume that
it is *not* anti-casino propaganda.

Like I said, it doesn't have salaries, but does compare the type of jobs between
Casinos, Hotel/Amusement, and the US generally:

Job type                    Casino  Hotel/Resort  US workforce
1 Officials and Managers      9.1%    9.8%            10.8%
2 Professionals               2.9%    2.8%            16.5%
3 Technicians                 2.4%    1.7%             6.1%
4 Sales Workers               4.4%    4.7%            12.1%
5 Office and Clerical         9.6%   10.4%            14.3%
6 Craft Workers (Skilled)     8.3%    5.4%             7.8%
7 Operatives (Semi-Skilled)   4.3%    3.6%            13.0%
8 Laborers (Unskilled)        2.7%    3.7%             7.7%
9 Service Workers            56.4%    57.9%           11.7%

Most telling is the number of Service worker jobs in casino
resorts versus the US workforce overall numbers.

You can see that the vast majority of the jobs are unskilled and
presumably low wage.  Given that.., one could make an argument that casinos
bring in low wage jobs.  The question is how do they compare with
similar jobs in the region that they will be largely replacing?

And at the moment I do not have that information.

To put it another way, if the region grew 10K jobs naturally, the
number of unskilled jobs (4 + 8 + 9) would be 31.5%.  With a casino
(or hotel/resort) the number would be 63.5% - slightly more than double.
So one could argue that casinos bring "worse" growth.
