Tens of thousands of Californians who work in sports arenas, the arts and catering have lost their jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All three of these industries in California saw declines in employment of more than a third, and most of those jobs haven\u2019t come back. As pandemic restrictions tightened this month throughout the state, there\u2019s no recovery in sight for these hard-hit businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kent Wong, director of UCLA\u2019s Labor Center, said the deep layoffs in these industries have harmed the broader California economy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt has a ripple effect with regard to the shutdown of major sports venues, major performing arts venues and all of the related industries that support them,\u201d he said. \u201cThat includes catering, that includes transportation, that includes hotels and restaurants \u2014 all of those are heavily reliant on spectator sports and performing arts and so, as a consequence, many of those subsidiary industries are suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three industries have had deeper cuts \u2014 and are slower to recover \u2014 than California\u2019s workforce as a whole. While statewide unemployment rates rose to a record high of 16.4% in April and May, they fell back to 8.2% in November.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"flourish-embed flourish-chart\" data-src=\"visualisation\/4731919\"><script src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/resources\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>California\u2019s special food services sector, which includes catering and food carts, lost almost half of its jobs between February and April \u2014 dropping from 74,400 to 37,700 employees, according to state employment estimates. Some of the jobs have returned, but most have not: The latest state numbers, from October, show 40,600 people employed in the sector, a decline of 45%.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, more than a third of the jobs in spectator sports in California that existed in February disappeared by April, as the number of jobs dropped from 13,300 to 8,600. Jobs have continued to vanish since then, with just 7,600 in the industry as of October, or 43% of the pre-pandemic jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>California\u2019s performing arts, such as dance troupes, symphonies, operas and theatre, also saw a precipitous drop in employment this spring because all live events were cancelled. By June, 45% of the 15,100 jobs that existed in the sector in February were gone, and by October, just 1,600 of the lost jobs came back. That leaves the industry at 34% of pre-pandemic employment levels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Large public events have been banned or heavily restricted in California since mid-March under health orders issued by Gov. Gavin Newsom and counties. And since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.ca.gov\/2020\/12\/03\/california-health-officials-announce-a-regional-stay-at-home-order-triggered-by-icu-capacity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">early December<\/a>, after a surge in hospitalizations, people in most of the state have been asked to stay home except for essential activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-background is-style-solid-color\" style=\"background-color:#ffda83\"><blockquote class=\"has-text-color has-dark-gray-color\"><p>\u201cWe already had a situation of tremendous economic inequality based on race and immigration status \u2014 it has only gotten worse.\u201d<\/p><cite>Kent Wong, director of UCLA\u2019s Labor Center<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>California was the hardest hit state for job losses in the creative industries, which include film, graphic design and music, according to a Brookings Foundation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/research\/lost-art-measuring-covid-19s-devastating-impact-on-americas-creative-economy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">informe<\/a> in August. About 453,332 jobs were lost between April and July.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most impacted sub-sectors within the arts nationally were the fine and performing arts, with a staggering 50% of jobs disappearing, the report concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t as if any of these industries were on solid footing before the pandemic. Many catering companies are mom-and-pop businesses without the capital to survive long stretches without a gig. The arts and culture sector is perennially underfunded in state and local budgets, relying heavily on philanthropy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And unlike wealthy team owners and athletes, the concessions workers, ticket sales representatives, parking and security workers, interns and others who have faced the brunt of layoffs by the Dodgers, Giants, Lakers and other sports teams are typically low- or minimum-wage workers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When these industries suffer, income from sales taxes in cities like Anaheim and Oakland decline, and income taxes also plummet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wong said many of the workers who lost their jobs are people of color, immigrants, contract workers and others without a \u201cstrong safety net.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMany of the workers within those industries already have a contingent relationship to their jobs and very few have other means of income, very few have benefits and any type of economic backup for their jobs,\u201d he said. \u201cWe already had a situation of tremendous economic inequality based on race and immigration status \u2014 it has only gotten worse.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A medida que se intensifican los cierres pand\u00e9micos, m\u00e1s de un tercio de los empleos en tres industrias de California que dependen de eventos (deportes, artes esc\u00e9nicas y catering) ya han desaparecido.
