How has YouTube contributed to the U.S. economy in 2024?

In 2024, YouTube significantly contributed to the U.S. economy, with its creative ecosystem supporting over 490,000 full-time jobs and contributing more than $55 billion to the U.S. GDP[1]. This growth has been driven by an increase in revenue paid to creators, which reached over $70 billion in the three years leading up to January 2024[1].

The platform continues to empower creators and businesses, allowing them to connect with audiences and generate income through various monetization strategies, including ad revenue and subscriptions[1].
