| | "The Rise of the Creative Class" by Richard Florida |
 | | This composite indicator is a better measure of a region's underlying creative capabilities than the simple measure of the creative class, because it reflects the joint effects of its concentration and of innovative economic outcomes. |
 | | In 1999, the average salary for a member of the creative class was nearly $50,000 ($48,752), compared to roughly $28,000 for a working-class member and $22,000 for a service-class worker. |
 | | The members of the creative class are diverse across the dimensions of age, ethnicity and race, marital status, and sexual preference. |
