More than 28,000 people applied for 1,500 full- and part-time jobs at the Michigan casino being opened by the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi
Indians.
About 2,000 applicants sought jobs at card dealers. Of those, only 300 were accepted into a training program for the FireKeepers Casino.
"This is a career opportunity," Lance Allen, the director of table games, told The Michigan Business Review. "A lot of people just look at it as a job. But it really is more than a job.."
The tribe plans to open the casino in early August.
