Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors chair Kathryn Barger on Wednesday delivered “sobering” statistics that reveal how devastating the COVID-19 pandemic has been on entertainment industry professionals.
“Anyone listening to yesterday’s meeting heard loud and clear that employees and businesses are suffering,” she said, referencing other data to come from the meeting that as many as 1 million unemployment claims have been filed in the county alone while as many as 80 percent of restaurant employees are out of work.
“It is definitely on the county’s radar to open movie theaters,” Vega added. “So much is dependent upon the plans that the task force members submit on how their industries can reopen.”
