But seriously, I can barely get a gig in Dayton, or sell a piece of art in Dayton.<BR/><BR/>I sell my art to folks all over the globe, get written about in newspapers, and magazines, have my music played on large European radio stations, and still...wouldn't even dare be considered for something like a Cityfolk festival, or even airplay on local radio outside of of public radio (thank you Rev. Cool).<BR/><BR/>Mind you though, I am certainly not alone on this count. There is little to no institutional support for any kind of outsider art or culture in America, especially in this corporatized age, which our leaders locally seemed to have swallowed hook line and sinkus.Phat City News - The World's Lone Repository of Outlaw Journalismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353630185120858150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-4454510255632096952007-11-11T21:28:00.000-05:002007-11-11T21:28:00.000-05:00The data is from the census, Summary File 4, which...The data is from the census, Summary File 4, which I think is based on the census long form. The census organizes the data by BLS job classifications.<BR/><BR/>The data is by place of residence. <BR/><BR/>I was more interested in that as I was curious where these people lived, and this produced some suprising results, if one is famliar with the local geography. <BR/><BR/>I am not convinced this approach gives a fair count of the more "bohemian" types of creative class folks that I'm interesed in, but is probably OK for people in IT, the sciences, engineering, etc.Jeffereyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294969786619943530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-13355651527123128752007-11-11T18:43:00.000-05:002007-11-11T18:43:00.000-05:00Great analysis.

One of the challenges we face here in Austin when people talk about the creative class is that downtown looks like a creative mecca if you use occupation data by place of work from the BLS. But then you realize that 95 percent of those folks drive home to the suburbs in the evenings, where they are active in community groups, support local art organizations, etc. It's tough to engage people if you can't get a handle on the geography. I like your approach with the maps. I can see how that would be really valuable to help people think about this topic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-34968650287752372642007-11-11T17:48:00.000-05:002007-11-11T17:48:00.000-05:00Mark, thanks for the info.

I don't think many people in Dayton read this blog, let alone out-of-towners, so I am pretty suprised to see that mention.Jeffereyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294969786619943530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-47499400520000882122007-11-11T17:43:00.000-05:002007-11-11T17:43:00.000-05:00For Bruce: Yes it would.

You can see the large numbers for technical professionals vis a vis "core creative class". These would certainly change the geography, esp. if one would add doctors, lawyers, management types, etc.<BR/><BR/>One profession I'd like to map out are lawyers, as so many law offices are located downtown. <BR/><BR/>My attempt here was to look at growing professions...and especially at where the more "bohemian" creatives might live. I think the census info is of limited use in this, due to day jobs.Jeffereyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294969786619943530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7572205562498024454.post-44900791352211639142007-11-11T13:14:00.000-05:002007-11-11T13:14:00.000-05:00Jeff, congrats on getting this link posted on Rich...Jeff, congrats on getting this link posted on Richard Florida's website!
