Photographers
held about 131,000 jobs in 2000. More than half were self-employed,
a much higher proportion than the average for all occupations.
Some self-employed photographers contracted with advertising
agencies, magazines, or others to do individual projects at
a predetermined fee, while others operated portrait studios
or provided photographs to stock photo agencies.
Most salaried
photographers worked in portrait or commercial photography
studios. Newspapers, magazines, television broadcasters, advertising
agencies, and government agencies employed most of the others.
Most photographers worked in metropolitan areas.
