So to insinuate that the quality of employment is somehow "low brow" is pretty short sighted. Also, at 9.3% unemployment rate in the city, I don't think there really is such a thing as "bad jobs".
I worked at a 10,000 seat arena - the arena itself had about 15 full time employees and then 100s of hourly people. Given the arena isn't exploding, with a new arena

The junior team itself (one of the biggest in Canada) - probably had 20 full time employees. Obviously the Flames are a much bigger operation - but its really not that many jobs.
