## Key points

- Industry representatives call for a federal production tax incentive.
- The US share of global production has dropped from 65% to 39%.
- A study estimates restoring that share could add $250 billion and 143,000 jobs.

## Summary

Three entertainment industry representatives urge Congress to pass a federal film and television tax incentive this year, arguing it would help bring production back to the US and protect jobs. They say the industry supports workers and businesses across the country, and that foreign production incentives have made the US less competitive.

The article says film and TV generate more than 2 million jobs and over $200 billion in annual wages, while production’s share of global activity has fallen from 65% to 39%. It cites research estimating that restoring the earlier share could add nearly $250 billion to local economies and create more than 143,000 jobs a year; state programmes in Georgia and Texas are offered as examples of incentives generating economic returns.
