The fact that Los Angeles is the second largest city does mean something. It’s not only many people but also the fact that it leads business, trade and culture. Los Angeles is the largest manufacturing center in the West, one of the world’s busiest ports, a major financial banking center, and the largest retail market in the United States. The city had 500,000 workers in manufacturing activities in 2003. The largest components are apparel (68,300 jobs), computer and electronic products (60,000 jobs), transportation products (54,600 jobs), fabricated metal products (49,900 jobs), food products (44,800 jobs), and furniture (27,400 jobs). Steel fabrication is the second largest industry in manufacturing, followed closely by fashion apparel. Before I researched on manufacturing in Los Angeles, I didn’t think it’s this much. I was impressive.
