The COVID pandemic took a particularly heavy toll on the arts sector in 2020. One in four arts, entertainment and recreation workers lost their job in 2020, compared to 2019. That’s 114,400 artists, technicians, marketing staff, arts administrators and other cultural workers who could no longer earn a living out of their profession. Employment fell from 450,500 in 2019 to 336,100 jobs in 2020. That’s a 25.4% drop.
These statistics are from the Labour Force Survey, Statistics Canada’s monthly survey of employees.
