Where the girls work

For tonight's "Where The Girls Aren't" panel at the Buena Vista Branch Library in Burbank, we've put together some statistics on the employment of women at Guild shops.

The figures below represent percentages of Guild members employed at Guild shops. As such, we can't claim these numbers represent the industry as a whole. The categories with asterisks are only partially represented by us at Guild shops, and the numbers should be looked at accordingly.

It should also be noted that we are at the mercy of our employers to give us accurate data on who is working, and in what categories. Our staff spends a lot of time making sure the studios are keeping up with status slips, but at the end of the day our information is only as accurate as what the studios tell us.
