PLAINS TWP. - Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs is cutting roughly 12 jobs, according to Mike Bean, president and general manager of the casino.
The jobs, mostly management and salaried positions, are "part of continuing efforts to be efficient and also to be aligned with a structure that supports our hotel," Mr. Bean said Monday.
Mr. Bean would not say which positions were cut, but he said the changes impact less than 1 percent of the workforce. The casino plans to add about 300 jobs as part of the $50 million hotel opening at the end of 2013, which will increase the employment to about 2,000, Mr. Bean said.
