Film-Related Employment Change Around 2023

This chart compares the 10 largest reported declines in film-related employment from May 2022 to May 2023. It shows how employment across selected film-related occupations changed around 2023, providing timing context rather than a direct cause-and-effect explanation.

Employment figures cover selected film-related occupations across all industries and do not represent film-industry-only payroll employment.
The chart provides timing context around the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes and broader industry normalization but does not establish that these events caused the reported changes.
Metro names refer to metropolitan areas rather than city limits.
