Culture Employment in a North American Context 1981 to 2001
"The culture sector has come to be recognized for both its economic and social contributions and the important role it plays in the vitality of a community. In addition to being a key defining aspect of a society, culture is a central element in the liveability of a city. This paper quantifies and assesses the role of culture employment in urban settings in Canada and the United States over the past two decades."

Studies & Reports 2 of 7
"Canadian census data are used for the years 1981, 1991 and 2001 and U.S. census data for the years 1980, 1990 and 2000. The analysis is performed at both the national and metropolitan levels, with selected cities examined in greater detail. Data are reviewed descriptively and through regression analysis.
The results of the study indicate that, in both Canada and the United States, metropolitan areas typically had higher shares of culture sector employment compared to rural areas and the nation as a whole. Additionally, there is evidence to suggest a positive relationship between the share of employment in creative and artistic occupations and the population size of the city. As well, culture sector employment grew at a much greater rate than the workforce as a whole over the period 1981 to 2001."
