Made in America: How Netflix Contributes to the US Economy

Logo - Header

Netflix is proud to call the United States home. With headquarters in California, as well as offices and studios in New Mexico, New York, Georgia, and soon-to-be New Jersey, we’ve supported the domestic economy for years.   

Between 2020 and 2024, Netflix:

  • Contributed $125 billion1 to the US economy2.

  • Hired more than 140,000 cast and crew members. 

  • Worked with over 550+ US production companies. 

  • Filmed over 900 titles across 50 states.

We also provide stable job opportunities in the entertainment industry. Across the country, as of 2024, Netflix has:

  • 9,000 full-time employees.

  • 2.2M square feet of corporate office space, including 1.9M square feet in our home state of California.

  • 3.1M square feet of studio space across 60 soundstages in the US. 

Netflix also invests in the future of the creative industry. 

  • From 2020 to 2024, we supported over 25,000 artists through nearly 300 training programs globally, with over $30.8 million allocated to US initiatives to develop emerging talent. 

Our studio spaces facilitate the production of high-quality films and series and provide local economies with significant business and employment opportunities. 

  • Netflix Studios Albuquerque: The recent expansion, which spans 108 acres, has added four new soundstages, three mills, one production office, two stage support buildings, and two dedicated backlot areas. A total of 2,800 construction workers made this expansion possible. Since 2019, Netflix has directly invested nearly $575 million in New Mexico productions. When considering other productions that have used Netflix Studios Albuquerque, the overall investment is closer to $900 million

  • Netflix Studios Fort Monmouth: When it opens, the facility will feature 12 soundstages over nearly 500,000 square feet and create permanent and construction jobs in New Jersey. Netflix plans to invest approximately $1B in capital to develop the more than 292-acre parcel in Eatontown and Oceanport, NJ.

Our contribution to the economy includes the impact of our direct spending with US suppliers and employees, the indirect impact with suppliers across the supply chain, and the induced impact of additional household consumption by employees in our supply chain.
