Ordering the 2005 Creative Industries Reports
What do the Creative Industries reports look like?
There are three different versions of the Creative Industries reports—the Standard Report, the Detailed Report, and the Trend Report:
- Standard Report
This two-page report includes a map and chart that show (1) the location of every arts-related business, and (2) the number of jobs and businesses in each sub-sector of the arts industry in the designated area. These reports are provided electronically as Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) files. - Detailed Report
This report is an itemized list of the Creative Industries businesses in the designated area. Each individual business listing includes the business name, the city, the industry category (e.g., performing arts), and the number of employees. These lists are provided electronically as sortable Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. - Trend Report
This one-page report charts the change in number of jobs and businesses for each sub-sector of the arts industry in the designated area from 2004 to 2005. These reports are provided electronically as Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) files.
Why are theses reports so valuable?
The Creative Industries reports provide a graphic illustration of the geographic and economic reach of the arts in your area. Just a couple of thoughts…
- There are 578,000 arts-related businesses in the United States—one in 24 U.S. businesses is an arts-centric business. It’s a formidable industry.
- The Creative Industries maps will demonstrate the broad distribution of these businesses throughout your area. What makes this research especially potent is the data can be localized to any city, county, region, or political jurisdiction (Congress, state House/Senate districts, even local wards in the larger cities and counties).
- Nationally, three million people are employed by arts-centric businesses. There is a critical need for strong arts education policies to provide a workforce and to grow audiences for these industries.
- Creative Industries are the high-octane fuel of the information economy—the fastest growing sector of the U.S. economy.
- The reliable and accurate data are from Dun & Bradstreet, the leading business provider of global business information.
