New England Creative Worker Survey
Creative workers are a vital part of New England's vibrancy, but are often undercounted - and underserved - because of the fluid nature of their work life. You can help change that! Answer questions about your jobs, income, and career priorities and be entered into a drawing to win $25.
Analysis of your responses will be included in a report on the whole creative sector in New England that will be released in spring, 2017. Share the survey with your friends and colleagues. Read more.
Survey closes November 18
