American entertainment
Music, sports, art, drama—all Americans enjoy some form of entertainment. Entertainment workers serve many functions, from athletes and coaches in the sports arena to actors and set designers in the theater industry to fine artists and animators in the art world. What are the entertainment hotspots in the United States? The answer to this question can be found by examining the concentration of entertainment workers among metropolitan areas, types of entertainment, and sources of the entertainment.
The workers discussed here produce entertainment. This definition includes artists, actors, musicians, athletes, and models, as well as their agents and business managers. Los Angeles, CA; New York City, NY; Orlando, FL; and Nashville, TN, are among the metropolitan areas with the highest concentrations of entertainment-related workers.
With almost 18 out of every 1,000 workers in entertainment occupations, Los Angeles has the highest concentration of entertainment workers in the country. This should come as no surprise, considering the fame of Hollywood and Los
Angeles’s “fashion district.” In New York City, home to the theater district, Broadway, and art-savvy Soho, 14 out of every 1,000 people are employed in entertainment services— second only to Los Angeles. Orlando, the home of many enormous amusement parks, and Nashville, the home of country music, also are among the MSAs with the largest concentrations of entertainment-related services in the United States.
Drama services account for the largest share of entertainment employment in all four metropolitan areas. The drama subcategory of entertainment includes the following occupations: Set and exhibit designers, actors, producers and directors, dancers, choreographers, film and video editors, and theatrical and performance makeup artists. Los Angeles has the second largest share of drama-related workers among the 337 metropolitan areas in the United States. More than 1 out of every 100 hundred people employed in Los Angeles is employed in a drama-related occupation.
Eighty-one percent of the more than 44,000 people employed in such occupations are employed by the motion picture industry. The motion picture industry has a huge presence in Los Angeles, accounting for 3 percent of the
entire workforce.
Some of the main attractions at Orlando’s many amusement parks are the live performances. Orlando is fifth in the country for share of drama workers. Fifty-one percent of its drama-related workers are in the miscellaneous amusement
and recreation service industry, which includes amusement parks. Other large employers of drama-service occupations are the motion picture production and service industry and the business services industry.
Art occupations include fine artists, painters, sculptors, illustrators, multimedia artists, animators, and fashion designers. Los Angeles has the tenth largest share of art-related workers in the United States. The motion picture industry not only employs drama-related workers but also many artistic workers. Thirty-one percent of the MSA’s artists, such as fine artists and animators, are found in this industry. The wholesale trade of nondurable goods industry, which includes men’s, women’s, and children’s fashions, footwear, and accessories, employs art workers such as designers and illustrators. Seventeen percent of workers employed in art-related occupations in Los Angeles are employed in this fashion industry, the second largest employer of art-related workers in the area.
Advertising is the dominant industry employing art-related service workers in New York City. More than 22 percent of New York City’s art-related employees are found in this industry. With 5,630 people employed in art-related jobs,
New York City is sixth in the country for its share of art-related workers. Other industries that employ more than 5 percent of art-service workers in this metropolitan area are apparel, piece goods, and notions; printing and publishing; motion picture production and services; and radio and television
broadcasting.
The music subcategory consists of music directors, composers, musicians, singers, musical instrument repairers and tuners. The industry comprising theatrical producers, bands, orchestras, and entertainers employs 52 percent
of these workers in Los Angeles. Religious organizations employ another 10 percent of music service-related workers.
New York has a larger music community than Los Angeles: 8,800 versus 5,600. More than 2 out of every 1,000 workers in New York City and almost 16 percent of entertainment service workers in New York City are involved with music services. These figures make New York City the area with the fifth highest concentration of music service workers in the Nation. Eighty-nine percent of area workers with music-related occupations are employed in the producers, orchestras, and entertainers industry.
Nashville, famous for country music, is ranked 14th nationally in terms of employment in music-related services. The producers, orchestras, and entertainers industry employs the most music-related services in this area.
LOS ANGELES, NEW YORK CITY, ORLANDO, AND NASHVILLE are clearly hotspots of American entertainment. Each metropolitan area employs entertainers in different industries, which gives each area a unique character. Los Angeles and New York City have a flare for fashion and the dramatic arts. Entertainment in Orlando thrives through its amusement parks. Country music influences Nashville culture. The sports entertainment field has a unique niche in American life, very different from that of the other forms of entertainment. The products of the American entertainment industry are enjoyed worldwide but their production is concentrated in a small number of population centers.
