In times of trouble, people do things they may not do otherwise... One of them may include becoming a dealer. The steady decline of the economy has naturally created a steady increase of unemployed, leaving more people without jobs all across the spectrum. A variety of unemployed, from engineers to truck drivers are coming out to Colorado casinos in hopes of becoming dealers in craps, blackjack, roulette and poker. The casinos' income is important to the states, as "State governments often look to casinos as a quick source of tax income in difficult economic times. " Colorado also voted in a referendum to expand the betting limits at casinos from $5-$100. The state is eager to rake in the cash the casino will make, and so are the soon-to-be-employed, as the salary is said to be $40,000 to $80,000 a year. If the choice falls between no job or dealing cards, the decision is easy. The unemployment is cyclical, yet somewhat structural. People are dealing with it though, as is Craig Taylor. "...you have to do what you have to do in this economy and make the adjustments to where the job you have pays the bills."
