YouTube says its ecosystem created 490K jobs and added $55B to the US GDP in 2024
YouTube released a report on Tuesday that shows just how influential the creator economy has become. YouTube says that its creative ecosystem contributed over $55 billion to the U.S. GDP and supported more than 490,000 full-time jobs, according to research by Oxford Economics. When YouTube talks about its creative ecosystem, it's not just talking about creators. This includes anyone who works with YouTube creators (video editors, assistants, publicists), as well as people who work for creator-oriented companies (Patreon, Spotter, Linktree, etc.). But these figures continue to grow, even in a time when venture capitalists are no longer pouring money into the industry like they were about four years ago. In 2022, YouTube and Oxford Economics reported that its creative ecosystem created about 390,000 jobs and contributed over $35 billion to the U.S. GDP, meaning that these 2024 figures jumped by 100,000 jobs and $20 billion. These numbers are so large because YouTube provides the most consistent and lucrative opportunities for creators. Those who qualify for YouTube's Partner Program can earn 55% of revenue earned from ads; even for mid-range creators (not the MrBeasts of the world), that can amount to several thousand dollars a month. While TikTok and YouTube Shorts have tried to monetize their platforms, the industry hasn't figured out a way to reliably distribute ad revenue among short-form creators. As both a fast-growing and often misunderstood sector, creators have been advocating for American institutions, from banks to the government, to better serve their industry. Some creators struggle to qualify for business credit cards or get certain business loans, regardless of their demonstrable financial solvency. These issues have become common enough to draw attention. Just last week, U.S. Representatives Yvette Clark (D-NY) and Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) announced their bipartisan Congressional Creators Caucus to support and recognize the potential of the creator economy.

EU could impose Russian oil price cap without US support, Kallas says
The European Union can impose an additional price cap on Russian oil without U.S. support, EU High Representative Kaja Kallas said at the Brussels Forum on June 11. "If you think about the oil going through the channels, it's mostly Europe, it's via the Baltic Sea, it's via the Black Sea. So even if the Americans are not on board, we can still do it and have an impact," Kallas said. The EU's 17th package of sanctions against Russia came into effect on May 20. The bloc is already working on its next wave of sanctions. The 18th EU sanctions package will include additional restrictions on energy, banking, oil, and other areas, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on June 10. "What the intelligence tells is that, now the sanctions will (harder hit) the supply chains of Russia needed to really fund this war," Kallas said. "Of course, it is important the United States... is together with us, and we have been operating together for quite some time," she said. Kallas noted the Group of Seven (G7) oil price cap was previously agreed upon to be 5% below the market price. "It is important, of course, what we do together, but it is also equally important for us what we do alone, because we alone are also a player," Kallas said. Kallas noted the EU is still an ally to the U.S., but recognized the dynamic between the two powers is changing. "We still value the relationship... I think with the Americans we are not growing apart, but growing up in our relationships," Kallas said. The upcoming G7 summit will take place in Alberta, Canada. A wide range of topics, including Russia's war against Ukraine, are expected to be discussed at the annual event. President Volodymyr Zelensky previously confirmed he would be attending the G7 summit after receiving an invitation from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
