What entertainment attendants and related workers, all other do
This residual code covers entertainment attendants and related workers whose jobs are not described by a more specific code in the same group. The standard classification defines it in one line, and O*NET lists no core tasks for it, so there is no fixed set of duties. The titles O*NET attaches include cardroom attendant, cardroom plastic card grader, chip mucker, chip person, floor attendant, and gambler, which point to support work around gaming tables and card rooms. Elsewhere in the code, the duties depend on the employer and the venue. The group sits beside projectionists, ushers, amusement attendants, costume attendants, locker room attendants, and gambling workers, each with its own code, and a worker whose tasks match one of those is counted there instead.
Also called: Cardroom Attendant, Cardroom Plastic Card Grader, Chip Mucker, Chip Person, Floor Attendant.

BLS does not design OEWS as a time series: each release pools three years of samples, and occupational classifications, area definitions and estimation methods change between releases, so a difference between two releases is not a measure of change over time. The figures are shown as published, side by side, and nothing is computed from them. See how often OEWS is updated.
