U.S. creative jobs fell by more than 200,000 in four years, but in-person work kept growing
Economist Joseph Politano's analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data, reported by Gizmodo, finds the U.S. lost more than 200,000 jobs in film, TV, publishing and graphic design over four years. About 50,000 of those losses came in the past year.
Politano does not blame AI alone. He says its effect is hard to separate from other pressures, such as media consolidation and production moving overseas. One pattern may help with planning. Since late 2022, digital creative jobs fell while in-person fields like museums and performing arts grew. These are national figures with no Detroit breakdown.
