For creators — artists, musicians, filmmakers, writers — and professionals in production (many of whom are gig workers), as well as freelancers for creative industries such as advertising or the small businesses that serve them, the situation can be particularly challenging, if not dire. They may not qualify for unemployment benefits, or they lack health insurance. They may be sacrificing nest eggs to pay their small staff; they may close shop altogether.
