Why You Might Want to Look for Work in the TV Industry

The transcript discusses the significant increase in television production, with over 400 original scripted TV shows produced last year. This surge has led to shortages in studio space and skilled workers, particularly in popular filming locations like Georgia, Vancouver, New York, and LA. In Georgia, tax incentives have attracted many productions, but there is a lack of studio space and construction workers. In New York, TV shows compete for props, while LA faces a shortage of greensmen, who ensure plant life matches the show's setting. These challenges highlight the industry's struggle to meet growing demand.
