The Casino Business
Gambling is big business in Western North Carolina. A new report by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill shows that Harrah's Cherokee Casino pours more than $380 million into the local economy there. That has led to improvements in life expectancy, poverty rates and even education in the area.
- Host Frank Stasio talks about the state’s casino business with report co-author Jim Johnson, Director of the Urban Investment Strategies Center and distinguished professor at the Kenan-Flagler Business School at UNC Chapel Hill.
