Amir Satvat latest data on game job seekers shows that those seeking game jobs are often forced to take jobs outside the industry.

Satvat acknowledged that there are a small (and really unknown) number of people who turn a Roblox user-generated content gig into a full-time job. He noted that having only 14% of jobs in games as remote and a high geographic concentration – around 75% of North American roles being in just five states or regions – creates significant reemployment challenges. In more stable times, Satvat assumed 95% of people achieve full employment by month 22 – this means 42,750 find non-games roles, leaving 2,250 unfulfilled.
