The last few years have been challenging for those in the entertainment industry, as our members and other workers have experienced a slowdown in production. But what’s the cause? Some think it was the strikes last year; others think broader economic forces are really at play. SAG-AFTRA Chief Economist David Vivano joins the podcast to offer expert analysis on geographical trends in production, the impact of state tax incentives, and the potential effects of A.I. on the workforce. He also shares some positive signs of a recovery as the business begins to – hopefully – return to full strength. *The views expressed by the guests are their own and not that of SAG-AFTRA. Any mention of products or services does not imply SAG-AFTRA’s endorsement.
