California’s creative economy is at an inflection point — and the numbers tell a more interesting story than the headlines.

Employment in the sector contracted 2.9% last year. But core creative professionals actually grew 2.1% in 2025. These workers earn an average of $249,214 a year and power a “California premium”: our state holds one in five creative jobs in the U.S. yet captures nearly a third of the wages.

In the new digital issue of ACCA JOURNAL, we explore this rebalancing with insights from California State Treasurer Fiona Ma — a CPA who has long argued that culture isn’t a luxury. It’s an investment.

Raised by a high school art teacher, Ma understands that creativity fuels prosperity. Through the California Creative Finance Network and her long advocacy for the Film and Television Tax Credit, she has worked to keep capital flowing to the people who give California its competitive edge.

AI is changing tasks, not eliminating the need for human imagination. The real question is whether we will continue to invest in the dreamers whose ideas shape tomorrow.
