NYC OTB – Hundreds Let Go
By daniel | Dated: 04-19-2010
The New York City Off Track Betting Corporation (OTB) is shutting down numerous betting shops and laying of hundreds of employees in order to stay open for the present time and in hopes of finding a long-term financial solution.“I expect that within a year this organization will be half the size it was,” said Chairman Meyer “Sandy” Frucher on Saturday. “The process will begin immediately, starting Monday. I can’t quantify at this point the amount of pain that we’ll be inflicting on the (racing) industry. There will be pain.”
OTB is has plans to install 1,500 “Kwik Bet”-style Internet-wagering terminals in sports bars in place of many of the brick and mortar shops it is closing down.

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
