TV journalists are losing their jobs at two-thirds the rate they did in 2008, signaling good news for all who are still hanging on, Vocus reported today.
From January to June, TV news experienced a net job loss of 401, with 1,006 journalists losing their jobs and 605 were hired (or re-hired). If the layoffs occur at the same rate, that’ll be about 800 jobs lost for the year compared to 1,264 in 2008.
Note that these numbers appear to mix the number of positions available to TV journos and the number of journos working.
