Otis College of Art and Design released the 2009 Report on the Creative Economy of the Los Angeles Region in November 2009, including an economic forecast of the creative industries through the year 2013. The report found that as the U.S. economy continues to transition from a manufacturing-based to a service-based economy, the Los Angeles region will see an uptick in employment for artists and designers. Data show that the “creative economy” is one of the largest business sectors in Los Angeles and Orange Counties, generating nearly 1 million in direct and indirect jobs and almost $140 billion in sales/receipts from the arts, design and entertainment industries combined. Over $5.1 billion in state and local tax revenues are generated by art and design-oriented businesses.
