Updated ACPSA Shows Arts and Cultural Sector Growth Before Pandemic
The recently updated Arts and Cultural Production Satellite Account (ACPSA) shows significance of the arts & culture sector to the U.S. economy despite substantial losses due to the pandemic, which shrank the sector by 6.4 percent when adjusted for inflation, compared with a 3.4 decline in the overall economy. Learn more in the latest NEA report on the Economic Impact of COVID-19 on Arts & Culture Sector. The 1998-2020 national- and state-level ACPSA data tables and documentation files are now freely available for download from NADAC, a data repository funded by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).
About ACPSA: The Arts and Cultural Production Satellite Account is produced through the partnership between the United States Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). Built with the BEA's input-output (I-O) accounts, the ACPSA provides detailed statistics that illustrate the annual economic impact of arts and cultural production on the U. S. economy from 35 industries, both commercial and nonprofit, ranging from architectural services to sound recording. The ACPSA state-level employment data table contains annual employment and compensation estimates for each state by industry, and comparisons with ACPSA employment and compensation by industry the same year. It also includes the annual total of employment in each state across the arts and cultural commodities industries.
