The rise of digital media is powering job growth in the entertainment industry throughout Los Angeles and Orange counties, according to a new report.
The digital media industry accounted for 206,880 jobs in the two counties in 2016, a 12% increase since 2006, according to the report by a coalition of industry groups including the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp., the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce and a consortium of community colleges.
The study is billed as the first comprehensive look at the fast-growing digital sector in Southern California and aims to help community colleges better train students and direct them to jobs with the most growth.
