I chose these industries because I am interested in music and arts, and I feel each industry chosen carries a
component of interest for me to pursue.
After analyzing all the data for each industry position, I have concluded that the Independent artist position does not
provide enough stability for me to pursue. Arts and sports manager provides better consistency in pay yearly and
monthly and makes it more appealing than all other positions chosen.
The consistent low month for the data is August.
January, February and March have an increase in wages for all industries.
2020 has been showing a steady increase monthly for Sporting goods, hobby, book, and music stores.
Arts, entertainment and recreation and Independent artists, writers, and performers were similar in pay
in 2014.
Sporting goods, hobby, book, and music stores has the lowest average rates in the most recent two years.
Independent artists, writers, and performers has the highest average rates in the most recent two years.
