2/3rds lost were California jobs, and even post Covid, the industry is shrinking at an accelerated rate The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that in June alone, 3200 jobs were chopped in the sector. Of the film jobs that remain, they’re increasingly being moved to other states and foreign countries where filming is cheaper:

quote:

In April, Hollywood employment dropped 30 percent as productions trickled out of California into other states. For the past three decades, Los Angeles has steadily been bleeding production jobs to other states and countries offering far better tax incentives and labor grants. Since 2022, for instance, America has lost 73,000 production jobs; two-thirds of them being from Los Angeles.

California did this to themselves.

There are actors out there protesting this job shift to other states and job cuts, but they don't realize they voted for this.

It's funny to watch it live in action and none of them can acknowledge any of it. Even the ones on this board.

Maybe. Maybe not. At least specifically for film crews. Years ago I used to be a member of a website called Ricochet.com , and they had a podcaster named Rob Long, who works in Hollywood. A Republican, but “moderate”. Anyway, he always claimed that while producers, directors, writers, and actors were overwhelmingly leftist, the film crew guys were much more right wing. The grips, carpenters, stagehands, lighting people, etc. Very blue collar in habit and attitudes.
