That's some rather alarming data... and very much puts paid to any hopes I had of moving to New York to work in stage management... PSMKay, does your research include work on corporate gigs/unusual performances/anything not strictly union-based?
Also, does anyone have any figures on all this for Australia? PSMKay, I know your research was limited to the US, but I know there's a few of us Aussies on SMNetwork. Just curious is all.
