We have a winner!
I worked in printing for almost 20 years!
Each month there was less to PRINT!
Wish it was not true! As I liked my job! And Made decent $$$$
Printed Magazines , and later on Catalogs.
It takes a lot of workers to put out the Millions of Magazines we put out each month! Add to that the cost of paper, ink, presses,binders,trucks to ship it to mailers, and then postage to just mail it all out!!!! That is just touching on it, after pre press , and the ones doing the work to write what you read after you get it! The ones out trying to sell the adds you see! And , yes that is what pays for the finished product for the most part!
Today, it takes a handful of workers to drop it all onto a web-page! That it use to take well, probably Thousands to just put out a large magazine!!! They can put it out there from an office complex! Where it use to take a large printing plant!
Sad.... But, it is the facts of this digital WORLD!
