Abstract	In 1980 the civilian labor force included over one million artists. This report, based on data collected by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, contains a detailed analysis of the distribution of those artists among various types of industries. Artists were assigned to one of 230 detailed industry categories, based upon the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification System (SIC). In this document: (1) 12 broad industrial classifications are identified; (2) the 230 artist industry categories are grouped into 48 sectors; and (3) separate data are included for male and female artists. Comparative data are provided for the average number of both artists and non-artists who were employed in each of the 12 industrial groups during 1980. The results indicate that, while the entertainment and recreation industry had only one percent of the total U.S. employment, it accounted for 15 percent of the arts labor force. Artists were more likely to be associated with business services, professional services, and communications than others. They were less likely to be employed in: (1) finance, insurance, and real estate industries; (2) public administration; (3) wholesale trade; (4) agriculture; and (5) forestry and mining. Sixteen tables are contained in the report. Appendices include sources of information, source data for rankings of industry by sex, and source data for types of workplaces. (JHP)
