Governor Newsom announced the latest round of California Tax Credit awards, and the numbers for these 17 television projects are staggering.
We’re looking at a massive injection into the state economy: $1.2 billion in total economic impact, 5,165 cast and crew jobs, and $487 million in qualified wages directly to California workers.
For those who think production is just about the stars above the line, look at the ecosystem these credits support: 35,946 background performer days.
That is a massive amount of work for the local talent pool.
Smart incentives equal real jobs. Let’s get to work!
