Area colleges prepping students for casino careers.
There was once a time when Ottawa county in Oklahoma had a very high unemployment rate. In 1986 when the Bf Goodrich plant closed in Miami one out of every four people were out of work. That is no longer the case with all of the Indian casinos in the area. The area casinos employ thousands of people and the area colleges are capitalizing on this by offering to people career training that will help people get jobs within these casinos.
I think that the only thing good that comes from these casinos is just that. They offer job opportunities to a lot of people in the area. What they really don't ever talk about, is how they also cause a lot of grief for people in the area. There are a lot of people that have lost their lively hoods in these places and the casinos sure do not seem to care about the damage that is done. I use to work for Downstream and their idea was to put ATM's by all the exits to make sure that people empty their bank accounts before they leave. These places are run by crooks in my opinion.
