2. UK Creative
Industries - 2019
I can see that the creative industries is a big
employer with 2.1million people employed and
61,000 new jobs in 2019.The sector is growing
with a 2.7x jobs increase across the UK.
Although this is a positive move overall for the
UK the North East often gets left behind with
only 2.7% of the industry operating there
compared to London's 33%.This means that due
to the lack of opportunities even though they
might be increasing it is easier and there are
more opportunities for creatives down South
meaning they would have to relocate for work.
3. Uk Creative
Industries
VALUE
The value of the creative industries has a real impact on the UK
economy generating £115.9 billion in the year of 2019.As this data
is from over 5 years ago, I believe this number has increased with
the boom in streaming and social media in recent years, I believe
that the value of the creative industries will continue on the
increase and continue to bring value to the UK economy.

Crown Works Studios
A recent major development in Sunderland

million to the north east per year. The
studios will also create a further 12,000 jobs
nationwide and contribute £759 million to
the total Uk economy.
5. Rate Cards
This is an example of an expected rate card for theatre freelancers with
the union of Bectu.The "ask for" rate is a lot higher than the minimum
rate as it means that the freelancer is able to negociate their rate with a
company and by starting at a higher rate it means that the freelancer is
less likely to be paid unfairly and
