The "Starving Artist"--Myth or Reality? Earnings of Artists in the United States
Journal of Political Economy
1986
With data from the 1980 census, earnings of artists are investigated. It is found that, contrary to widely held beliefs, artists do not appear to earn less than other workers of similar training and personal characteristics. Artists in 1980 are significantly younger than the general work force, probably because of the rapid growth of the artistic professions in recent years.
