The “creative economy” has many facets, and only some of them are what we traditionally consider arts jobs.
Sure, there are painters and sculptors and actors and the others around those industries who make their livings directly from creative works. But there are also a series of concentric circles around those industries, and the jobs within those rings ought to be considered part of the creative economy, too. Graphic designers are artists; so are architects, web designers, marketing professionals and more.
