Photography jobs on the rise says the BBC
Sound like some good news for the Photo/Video industry -

"Job ads for photographers and broadcasting equipment operators saw the largest rise, up 19% on last week, according to the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC)."
A nice pickup from the downturn I hope.

I'm alternative might to be that some were laid off during Civid or, if self-employed, were not needed..
Perhaps more people want to be seen outside now, Perhaps more weddings can be planned; Along with sports and local events being organised. Perhaps influencers are wanting to be seen outside again. Socialite parties may be more prevalent and seeking more publicity.
All of the pent up demand. All of the pre-existing demand. and a few people just glad they can do stuff outside again. Perhaps lots of people looking for new jobs and houses to work in needing estate agent photos.
And some of us who having been putting off a new camera due to minimal opportunity to use it can now upgrade etc.

I remember reading the following a few years ago: there are more graduates from photography degrees in the UK each year than there are professional photographers working in Europe. If true that's a scary thought for those seeking a career in photography! Add into this downward trend for professional photography in the last 5 years (worsened significantly by Covid), the increasing pressure of companies to try and get something for nothing and the ever increasing supply of images (often from the amateurs happy to undersell their work for "exposure") and being a professional tog is not a career to select lightly.

Many will end up flipping burgers - just like their contemporaries with equally useless degrees from "uni".
Covid killed the business for many professional photographer colleagues. We're glad that we'd both retired and had sold our studio.
