All in work in comics
We all know that it’s hard to make a stable living in comics, but how acute is the income insecurity faced by comics creators? Do they have health insurance? And do they have a realistic plan for retirement?
There are basically two school of thought when it comes to evaluating job quality: is it an objective property of the job (i.e., wages, hours, benefits), or is it a subjective property of the employee (i.e., how happy/miserable your job makes you)? For this week’s update, I want to look very briefly at reported measures of job satisfaction.
Our week 2 update examines the age and career length of survey respondents, as well as their training and education. If you contribute creatively to comics, please take the survey and share it with your peers, colleagues, and collaborators.
With 255 completed surveys one week into the project, let's take a quick peek at who is participating and who's underrepresented in our data thus far.
