> Hollywood directly supports more than 2 million jobs
16 million people work for restaurants. Many more are part of their supply chains.
And it's hard to argue that entertainment is more essential than food production.
- gamblor956 6y agoRestaurants aren't food production. Farms are food production. Slaughterhouses and meat factories are food production. General Mills are food production. And all of these actual food production facilities and businesses are considered essential and remained open during the lockdowns. 16 million people work for restaurants. Many more are part of their supply chains. True, in the entire United States, 16 million people work for restaurants, most of them in part-time positions. Hollywood employs more than 1 million people in California, and several hundred thousand in LA alone. You may not consider Hollywood essential, but it absolutely is an essential industry in Los Angeles.
