It's a little unclear initially from the graphic design, but as I read it that section of the spreadsheet that is called out and enlarged relates to the section of text that follows the overall job count. That section reads:
Some of those "motion picture" jobs include food prep workers, concession stand jobs and janitors. In fact, 25% of all "motion picture" jobs are comprised of fast food workers, ushers and other service occupations.
If you look behind the callout, you'll see that the background spreadsheet image represents a partial view into the total count and breakdown.
Again, I had to do a double-take, myself, to see this. So I'm not saying the infographic couldn't stand some tweaking.
Two comments I'll make.
1) I take the point of the infographic, but I don't mean in my own observation to discount nor demean those particular jobs.
2) It would be nice to have some links to information backing this up. However, I see a web site address clearly provided at the bottom. Looking there, while it's hardly the most structured web site design, if you look for the portion of the page that begins "Update (01-20-12)", you'll find at least some linkage.
