The economy has been a huge topic of conversation for the last five-plus years, but some industries have been hit harder than others.
The entertainment business, especially in Los Angeles, has had a substantial hit and is still trying to recover.
According to an article in the Huffington Post, 90 percent of actors are unemployed. And the number of new acting jobs is only expected to increase by 4 percent in the next decade, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
This is much lower than the expected job growth of 14 percent in other fields of work in the same time period.
Behind the scenes crew can expect an even slower job growth in the next decade.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics for Film and Video Editors, there is only a 3 percent expected growth in that field.
The entertainment business is extremely competitive to begin with, but with these staggering statistics it makes the chances of new comes to the business even harder to land their big break.
