Employment in information industry declined for majority of U.S. states since end of last recession
November 25, 2016
The information industry plays an important role in keeping us informed and shaping our culture. When we watch television, listen to the radio, read a book or a magazine, surf the Internet, make a phone call or send a text, or see a movie at the theater, we consume much of what this industry produces. Since the end of the most recent recession, employment in the information industry decreased for the majority of U.S. states. From June 2009 to October 2016, Kansas had the largest percentage decrease in information employment (−41.6 percent).
Over that period, Arizona had the largest percentage increase (24.0 percent).
