The pandemic battered California’s creative economy. Here are the sectors that were hardest hit, and those that were most resilient:
Fine and performing arts went from being one of the fastest growing sectors in California’s creative economy to the one with the steepest drop in employment during the pandemic, a new study from the Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles found.
Meanwhile, architecture and related services have also proved especially strong in the wake of COVID-19. The sector’s workforce of 225,850 Californians in 2020 reflected only a 2.2 percent decrease from the prior year.
The picture grows more complex when broken down by region. Prior to the pandemic, only the Bay Area, the Capital Region, and San Diego saw employment increase between 2007 and 2020. And while the Bay Area and Southern California account for 80 percent of creative economy jobs statewide, “the center of gravity seems to be shifting away from Hollywood and towards Silicon Valley,” the report states.
