An Atlantic City casino laundry company that has operated since 1986 plans to lay off 67 workers, according to a report by NJ.com.

The company, which has served the city's casino industry for nearly four decades, filed notice of the planned layoffs. NJ.com first reported the cutbacks.

What do the layoffs mean for Atlantic City workers?

The 67 affected positions sit inside Atlantic City's casino support economy — the laundry, hospitality and back-of-house jobs that sustain the resort town beyond the gaming floor. A company with roots going back to 1986 cutting staff signals pressure on that support layer, not just on casinos themselves.

For workers in similar roles, the practical takeaway is direct: laundry and industrial-wash positions tied to a single client industry carry concentrated risk. When one major operator trims headcount, competing applicants in the same niche suddenly increase, and bargaining power for remaining staff weakens.

What should affected employees watch?

  • The layoff count: 67 workers, per NJ.com's reporting.
  • The company's history: operating since 1986, giving it nearly 40 years in the Atlantic City market.
  • The sector: casino-support services, a segment tied closely to hotel occupancy and casino traffic.

Workers facing displacement from this round of cuts will enter a regional labor market where casino-support employers are the dominant buyers of these skills. Repositioning toward adjacent logistics, hospital laundry or hotel operations roles can spread that risk.

NJ.com's report did not specify the exact timing of the layoffs or whether the company plans to close entirely. Additional details on severance, final employment dates and any state response may follow as the notice proceeds.
