		The Not So Glamorous Macau 07 May 10

	So the casino industry is booming in Macau. So much that it has now taken over Vegas in gaming revenue does not show any signs of stopping. After all, it is a the doorstep of China, the most populous country in the world where everybody seems like they love to play $1,000 hands of baccarat and for hours at a time. So how can it be that such a phenomenon is not a total blessing for the small island? Well the government has counted up some of the social costs and it really seems that they are trying to look after the generation of youthful workers who have seen the construction and transformation evolve in front of their eyes whilst they were in their late teenage years. Think of a job, and all you had to is look towards the shimmering lights and put your hand up and soon you were servicing rich clientele under blazing fluorescent tubes and without any worries about unemployment. Isn't this the dream move for any eighteen year old? Well many fail to see the reverse side of all this. Many young eighteen year olds with their first jobs a dealers have actually been jailed for stealing chips. They just seem to fathom how the old men get all their gambling chips and can just splash it across the table when their incomes can barely register for one bet. The government is also very concerned that these eighteen year olds are not seeking higher education and exploring other industries rather than just automatically thinking of working in the casino industry. What would happen if the casinos were to one day cease to exist? Would the entire economy lose their jobs? That is exactly why the government is looking at preserving the diversity of the workforce, ensuring dealers are 21 years and older and applying the brakes on this red hot neon industry.
