Industry Outlook

Producers and Directors

Employment of producers and directors is projected to grow 8 percent from 2023 to 2033, faster than the average for all occupations.

About 13,900 openings for producers and directors are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.

The median annual wage for producers and directors was $82,510 in May 2023. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $42,040, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $174,540.
