[advertisement][advertisement][advertisement] [Get our forecast today]( Welcome back, Hollywood writers Get your remotes ready—the Hollywood writers strike against industry studios is ending after five long months. The Writer’s Guild of America West announced its walkout is ending, after its leadership agreed to an “exceptional” new deal. Now we just have to wait for members to sign on the dotted line and then write us some content we desperately need, as Only Murders in the Building’s latest season is about to come to an end, and then that feels like pretty much it for awhile. Though we should point out that writing and producing new content takes time, and actors, as of this writing, are still on strike. In the meantime, let’s look at a few numbers: 11,500: Members needed to ratify the contract 12.5%: Increase in pay for writers over the three years of the deal, with an immediate 5% bump once ratified $233 million: Estimated value of the new agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers [Julia Malleck has more](%2F%2Fqz.com%2Fwga-strike-deal-amptp-ai-residuals-pay-raise-1850877137%2F%3Futm_source=email%26utm_medium=Quartz_Daily_Brief_US%26utm_content=1850881371/1/0100018adb3c940d-71283c2c-5a39-4f2d-879b-aa2fd7791751-000000/Oi40wZmS4J3t9dDAdblDk0MJwrMknKELRhFKBMsssuI=320), including what the studios ultimately agreed to regarding AI, which was one of the big sticking points over the original union contracts. %2F%2Fqz.com%2Femails%2Fdaily-brief%2F1850881371%2Fno-more-trump-cards%2F/4/0100018adb3c940d-71283c2c-5a39-4f2d-879b-aa2fd7791751-000000/EndE9Dalc97xgqMF3gRthyXCef_8WtybZWfZ3txRUVk=320 Illustration: (Vicky Leta) Since the start of the pandemic, what was once a steady trickle of nurses leaving their home countries to work in the US and Europe has become a flood. Quartz, with support from the Pulitzer Center and in partnership with Type Investigations, traveled to India, Nigeria, the Philippines, the UK, and the US to investigate the consequences of this global nursing migration.
