Jobs & Employment

Permanent Careers, Union Strong

Resorts World's expansion will create thousands of direct permanent positions and thousands more union construction jobs, backed by Collective Bargaining Agreements and Project Labor Agreements. With a median compensation package of $150,000, these are careers that support families and strengthen communities. And through dedicated opportunities for MBEs, WBEs, and SDVOBs, Resorts World is building a more diverse supply chain from the ground up. Resorts World New York City is the single largest employer of the Hotel and Gaming Trades Council, AFL-CIO.
