the main point is how it is in direct contrast to how other sectors will interview for weeks and months, before any resolution at all, then require negotiating an offer, just to get to a two-week notice at a minimum and then require another 2 weeks to a month to get paid, with deposits taking several more business days (up to 5 actual days) to be available
paid instantly when you realized you might need it, versus paid 4 months from now hoping you planned and forecasted correctly
I wouldn't call entertainment work (even the craziest corners of that world) nearly as off-brand as suggesting that women dominate it. I have no idea how far from 49/49 the makeup might be, but I do know that I'm a guy who's done plenty of entertainment industry gigs (music production, fwiw) where the pay is quite reliably received before going home, and that's the important distinction here.
I was referring to women dominated crazy corners and I don't have lived experience with man's equivalent job pursuit to say so I didn't speak about them
Offbrand for this site but I’ve seen women audition and work and get paid the same day, this year
Is what it is
They sign all forms and its W-2 employment some places as well
I agree we should reduce friction to that level for more kinds of work, some people are working on that
