![]() “The Encore Boston Harbor employee survey helps us understand whether casino employment can lead towards economic stability and prosperity for workers,” says Mark Melnik, director of the institute’s Economic & Public Policy Research (EPPR) group. The study, part of the University of Massachusetts Amherst-based Social and Economic Impacts of Gambling in Massachusetts (SEIGMA) project, was conducted before and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Employees were surveyed about their demographics, previous employment, residency, experience and other economic measures. The findings draw from a large sample of employees who elected to participate in the survey, capturing hires from pre-opening through 2 ½ years of operations after the resort-casino opened its doors in June, 2019. Survey data was collected from new employees at Encore Boston Harbor from January 2019 to December 2021. Encore Boston Harbor has met gaming legislation goals to provide opportunities to Massachusetts and local residents, the unemployed and marginally employed, including minorities, women and veterans, according to employee survey results released today by the UMass Donahue Institute. ![]()
