Slumping economy? New job
creation in dire need? Internet-media businesses are one of the growing areas to look to!
Internet media this year
became the media industry's second-largest employment sector (after newspaper)
according to Ad Age DataCenter's analysis of Bureau of Labor
Statistics data. As of July 2012,
approximately 16% of people employed in the U.S. media industry now work for
internet-media businesses, according to Ad Age's analysis.
Employment at U.S.
internet-media businesses in July surpassed staffing in broadcast TV. Over the
course of the last couple of years, internet-media employment surpassed passed
magazines, radio and cable TV.
The only U.S. media sector
with more employees is newspapers. It is worth mentioning that newspapers, over
the past year, have slashed an average of 1,400 jobs a month while
internet-media businesses have added about 400 jobs a month. Employment at U.S.
internet-media businesses has increased 54% from its pre-recession level.
