Down below -- while talking about the cratering economy -- I mentioned that TAG reps 2,536 employed artists, writers, and technicians. Give or take.
So where do most of these people work? ...
Here's some of the breakdown, which encompasses both staff and freelance employees. But keep in mind that these numbers are weeks old, and employers aren't always timely supplying hiring and layoff data. Employment data, as the Federal Government will no doubt tell you, is a continuously moving target ...
Sony Adelaide -- 22
Cartoon Network -- 134
Disney Animation Studios (Feature) -- 427
Disney TVA -- 172
DreamWorks Animation -- 615
Film Roman (Starz Media) -- 321
Fox Animation -- 157
IM Digital -- 179
Imagi Studios -- 66
Rough Draft -- 33
Sabella-Derm -- 34
Sony Pictures Animation -- 40
Universal Cartoon Studios -- 47
Warners TV Animation -- 79
These numbers will be different in a month. (They're different now. For example, this very week, one large studio abruptly cut thirty staffers loose. Yeowch.)
The only constant in the employment universe is change. And not always for the better.

which large studio did the most recent cutback?
I think Hulett is talking about Disney Feature.
People I know there say thirty staffers got let go a day or two ago.
Most others are going on a 45 hour week (no raises for extra hours unless people working at scale).
That's what I hear.
What about Nickelodeon?
Nick is bopping along pretty good. One of the few tv animation studios that is.
Disney TVA? Warner Bros Animation? Universal Cartoon Studio?
Slooow.
