Aux États-Unis, le National Endowment for the Arts publie des statistiques sur les taux de chômage des artistes durant cette récession

Among the findings : artists are unemployed at twice the rate of professional workers;
unemployment rates for artists have risen more rapidly than for U.S;
artist unemployment rates would be even higher if not for the large number of artists leaving the workforce;
unemployment rose for most types of artist occupations;
the job market for artists is unlikely to improve until long after the U.S.economy starts to recover.
