Those in the creative field still have a chance to make a living doing what they love.
According to a wage index released today by Payscale, media and publishing jobs experienced the largest annual growth in wages in the past year.
This is a huge shift compared to the industry's "little to no growth" between 2008 and 2011.

Huge distortion I see right off the bat with #1, #3 and #4.
The Public Relations (#1 & #4) as well as the Construction industry (#3) were some of the hardest hit sectors of the economy as a percentage since the start of 2008. Wages are still depressed in these areas compared to 2007/2008 levels. They are only showing the growth from 2011 to 2012.
I can’t access all the data shown here to compare what I have previously researched. So I do not know on what they are basing the numbers. Are they including those entering or re-entering the market Vs lost jobs?
They’re definitely not including journos in with that media wage figure. And construction ain’t nothing to write home about either.
Journalists, eh.....wow; are there really any of them still left?
The song “Dirty Laundry” always comes to mind whenever I read something like this.....anything that guts the news readers.
