The Los Angeles film industry has shed 42,000 jobs in the past two years. Those in the industry are saying that the streaming production shows with their obnoxious girl bosses, gay themes, wokeness, grooming and smug humorless heroes have been failing to find an audience.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, around 100,000 people were employed in Los Angeles County’s motion picture industry at the end of 2024. Two years earlier, that figure stood at 142,000.

That’s a loss of 42,000 jobs, nearly a third of the workforce, in just 24 months.
