Follow the story of the creative economy, and you’ll hear good news and see growth that outpaces everything around it— especially the economy as a whole. When you start to track the creative economy more closely, you’ll see a trend that grows bolder and angles higher year over year. New technology and new media platforms play a role in this, but sales of things like movie tickets and children’s books keep climbing, too. It’s growth that’s dynamic, robust, and diverse. For individuals who are considering a place in the creative fields, this means opportunities for satisfying, meaningful careers and more jobs to choose from. And as the creative economy rises, it lifts the economy around it.
