Damian A Cohn (EDT) Artists in the Workforce

Annotation

This book uses United States census occupation data to analyze artists' demographic and employment patterns. The book begins with a discussion of key findings, followed by 60 supporting tables derived from the 1990 and 2000 censuses and the 2003-2005 American Community Survey. The tables contain detailed information about artists that is not readily available in print or on the Internet.Also included are three appendices that describe the census-defined artist occupations, the data sources, the accuracy of the estimates, and the new American Community Survey. This is an edited, excerpted and augmented edition of a National Endowment for the Arts publication.
