Managing Director Robert Stoner and Director Jéssica Dutra have recently published The US Music Industries: Jobs & Benefits — 2024 Report for the Recording Industry Association of America where they measure the music industries’ economic impact nationwide, which overall contribute $212 billion to the GDP and account for 2.5 million jobs. Their report also provides a detailed state-by-state breakdown, giving an even sharper window into how this economic engine ripples through the broader ecosystem from sources such as music venues, festivals, brick-and-mortar stores, and artists’/songwriters’/music schools’ digital platforms, to name the most significant.

The report has been referenced by Billboard, Digital Music News, RIAA, and Musically.
