Indiana is home to 10,769 arts-related businesses that employ 47,025 Hoosiers.
That data was reported in the latest Creative Industries survey released by Americans for the Arts (AFTA).
The Creative Industries account for 3.2 percent of the total number of businesses located in Indiana, and 1.5 percent of the employed population.
Nationally, there are 750,453 businesses involved in the creation or distribution of the arts, and they employ 3.1 million people. This represents 4.2 percent of all U.S. businesses and 2.1 percent of all U.S. employees.
The source of the data reported in the survey is Dun & Bradstreet, the most comprehensive and trusted source for business information in the United States.
Between 2012 and 2014, Dun & Bradstreet conducted a large-scale, post-recession database cleaning. Despite a reduction in the overall numbers of all U.S. businesses (arts and otherwise), the arts share of businesses and employment remained stable as a percentage of the national totals - demonstrating that the Creative Industries are as resilient and durable as other sectors of the economy.
