Jobs and earnings for SAG-AFTRA members set record highs in the first five months of 2021, rebounding from a near 40% decline last year in the number of members working during the Covid-19 pandemic. Not all members suffered equally last year, however, with freelance males who are 40 and older working 70% more jobs than their female counterparts.

Much of this, the report says, was fueled by employment on streaming shows and the success of the industry’s return-to-work protocols that allowed production to resume during the pandemic. “Fierce competition among streaming platforms is generating demand for original content and advertising, which is translating to exceptionally high demand for SAG-AFTRA talent.

In its conclusion, the report notes that “Despite the severe disruption in 2020, we still see many patterns of our membership remained relatively consistent. The proportional makeup of our membership by category and Local remained largely proportional to the pre-pandemic makeup. Employment patterns across age and gender remained stubbornly consistent with prior years.”
