MPAA lied to Congress about the jobs number
AFAICT, the statistics in this infographic only lists people involved with theaters and cinemas. I didn't see any categories that addressed people that perform jobs like actors, lighting and special effects, props, costumes, writers, directors, etc.To have an honest discussion on this debate we need to stop talking about raw job numbers lost in one industry and instead talking about:(1) net job losses and gains
(2) discounted by the number of jobs that are likely to be eliminated due to changes in consumption patterns and increased productivity (read: automation) in those industries.The whole debate about job losses is dishonest if you don't accept the fact that change happens.This isn't HN quality material. Give us deep analyses instead of a poorly made and misleading info graphic.
