The US Bureau of Labor Statistics has issued data for media employment trends over the 26-year period from 1990 onwards.
None of this is surprising, of course, and I would guess that the decline in UK newspaper jobs is roughly of the same order as in the US.
The stand-out figure is the one showing the steep decline in newspaper jobs, down from nearly 458,000 in 1990 to about 183,000 in March 2016, a fall of almost 60%.
But newspaper romantics still denying reality, the collapse of newsprint, should note that there is no sign of a plateau.
