The Force is strong in the job market

Did the Force awaken jobs in the entertainment industry?

From the Marketplace Desk of Correlation is not necessarily Causation, but it sure is interesting:

Buried in that jobs report this morning was this — plucked out by the Wall Street Journal, I should say.

The motion picture industry added 15,000 jobs last month.

15,000 after averaging a mere 700 a month for the past year or so.

Figure it out yet?

The Force has awakened indeed.
