Poarch Creeks see massive turnout for jobs at $246M casino



The Poarch Band of Creek Indians in Alabama saw a massive turnout at its casino job fair on Wednesday.

More than 1,000 people turned up for about 600 positions at the Creek Casino Wetumpka. The tribe is debuting a $246 million expansion of the facility in December.

“People need jobs, and I believe this is a good organization with wonderful benefits," Rick Shuford, a human resources director for the tribe, told The Montgomery Advertiser.

The tribe might hold a second job fair due to the response.
