Perhaps no industry is moving as quickly as the hotel industry and the casino industry. As the nature of travel changes, so do the needs for different types of properties and employees to fill a wide variety of hotel jobs and casino jobs. Today’s hotels and casinos range from boutique properties and bed and breakfasts to casino resorts, motels and upscale hotels.

In 2004 alone, nearly 62,000 establishments in the U.S. provided overnight accommodations to suit many different needs and budgets, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

Hotels and other accommodations provided 1.8 million wage and salary jobs in 2004 and are often the first places of employment for young job seekers.
