Abstract
This paper presents the research results of an analysis of labor conditions on three cultural sub-sectors. The research was focused on the sub-sectors of the visual arts, the audiovisual production, and the graphic design in Nuevo León, one of the most developed states of México. The theoretical framework that sustains this study addresses the typologies of cultural and creative industries, as well as previous studies on cultural and creative work. The methodological approach is qualitative, since the cultural workers‘ perceptions, opinions, and experiences were a valuable data source. The research strategies employed were the participant observation and the semi-structured interview. The collected data were organized into three categories: the labor regimes, the discursive representation, and the development perspectives of the cultural workers. Based on the research results, it is confirmed in the conclusions that the cultural work is characterized by scarcity, moonlighting, and self-employment.
