The amusement, gambling, and recreational subsector is part of the larger arts and entertainment industry. This vast industry consists primarily of facilities where patrons can partake in sports, amusement, gambling, or club activities. Some of the most common examples are large amusement parks like Disney World and Universal Studios, casinos, and country clubs.
Employees in this industry range from bartenders, ride operators, and waiters to lifeguards, sports coaches, and instructors. To ensure this industry attracts the best top talent, employers need to offer quality employee benefits packages. This means that to stay in line with other industries, employers need to provide comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance as well as life and disability coverage and paid vacation time.
There are about 82,000 amusement, gambling, and recreational businesses nationwide, employing over 1.7 million individuals. The average number of employees in each business is 21, with 46% of employees identifying as female, with the median age of each employee being 39 years old.
41% of all amusement parks and gambling companies offer access to short-term disability plans, and 53% offer access to long-term disability plans. The national average is 42% and 34%, respectively.
64% offer life insurance coverage. The national average is 56%.
In general, the amusement, gambling, and recreational industry falls in line with other industries when providing comprehensive benefits packages to their employees. They do extremely well in providing more paid vacation days off than the national standard, but can amp up their offerings for consolidated leave plans and retirement benefits to make themselves stand out to prospective employees in a sea of competition.
