I manage a few rooms in
Michigan, and also deal at the
wsop in Vegas every summer.
My dealers here (now we are just a poker room not the casino) make 3.25 / hour plus tips. Average take is about $20/hour.
In Vegas for the WSOP we make $8.50/hour plus tips. In 2015 I made aprox $15k in 7 1/2 weeks of dealing here. It is a lot of work and to deal WSOP you must know how to deal 20 different games.
In Florida, the dealers do make a good amount. I know a bunch of dealers around the Tampa area and they take about $40 - $50 thousand a year, and if you work at Tampa Downs you get benefits as well.
NOW, there are a few things to consider.
1. Women make more than men - mostly because poker players are degenerate pervs. Good looking women make WAY more. At WSOP an attractive female dealer, if she is a good dealer, will make about $15 - $20 k in 7 1/2 weeks. Also know a really attractive woman at Tampa Downs in Florida who makes on average $70k a year (at 30 hours a week!)
2. The better you are the more you make, guaranteed. Especially for cash dealers where you get tipped every hand. Obviously the more hands you can deal per 'down' the more tips you will get. Efficiency and speed are a really difficult thing for a dealer to achieve right out of the gate, so you have to be patient and pay your dues. You will get better with time.
If anyone wants any information about dealing anywhere in the USA just ask, I am familiar with dealing all across the country and know professional dealers in almost every state. Plus I teach people to deal in Michigan so if you want to know anything again just ask.
I would say the average for a decent dealer in the USA is going to be roughly $20-$25 / hour for men and about $25 - $45 / hour for women.
