As of 2018, there are 15,000 people doing screen production and post-production work in this industry. Of those workers, 85 percent—12,800—were hired contractors. They were often employed on a take-it-or-leave-it basis: "This is what we're offering you. Take it or leave it. Whether it's worth your while or not." If you're desperate for work, you'll take it. There's been no ability for them to have standard contracts.
