Hollywood seems to reward a lot more than 10% of its participants. There are many thousands of people living middle-class lives as part of the movie business in Los Angeles and elsewhere. Much of their ability to do so is driven by the unions active in the entertainment industry and the protections they demand for non-superstar workers.
- intended 5y agoSorry, let me rephrase that- I’m describing reward distributions in different industries - for example holly wood actors or major league athletes. For each successful actor/athlete there are millions who never even saw the light of day. I am not talking about the larger business ecosystems, as those would exist for any industry.
