Portland has more strip clubs per capita than any other city in the US. Is there enough money to go around for all these girls? Is it a profitable profession there or is there too much competition?

There was a story last month on the vegan strip club being sued by two of its dancers. It's probably not a full compendium on the economics of the industry, but it was an interesting peephole into the business end of the business.

Two dancers Sue Strip Club Casa Diablo for Unpaid Wages and Harassment.

I don't have any personal connection so I can't really add much more than that. Still, whether you're talking about dancers or clubs I'd suspect there are some of each who do ok, and a lot who don't.

It is profitable for the girls, but there is a lot of competition. Basically we love to drink and we love our all nude strip clubs. One of the beauties about the Great Northwest.

Why are there so many strip clubs in Portland?

My guess

Portland isn't an especially rich city, but there does seem to be a lot of one dollar bills floating around here...

Stripping is profitable anywhere, but as I understand it it is completely off the charts in North Dakota. Strippers out-earn doctors, lawyers and dentists in ND. For as long as the oil holds out I suppose. I don't even want to speculate as to why the o.p. is curious. What little I know is that it is a corrosive vocation. Toxic to the soul and spirit and is a gateway drug to even seamier life scenarios for the susceptible.

The strip club scene here is odd. I can't explain it here as I am uncomfortable talking about my Portland strip club experience on a public forum. You may find the strip clubs here perfectly normal but the one time I went to one here left me feeling kind of sick. Yes, I have been to strip clubs in other cities.

I doubt that's it. NYC would definitely be in the number one slot in that case. In doing my usual thourough research before I post a rebuttal I came across this tidbit. FWIW.
