Los Angeles, CA
Entertainment capital of the world!

The city of Los Angeles holds many distinctions. LA is the entertainment capital of the world and one of the world's greenest cities with green transportation, infrastructure and trend-setting green initiatives. From tourist attractions like the Walk of
Fame’s collection of stars (numbering 2,334, and growing by one or two a month) to career opportunities like those presented in the expanding biotech industry, Los Angeles is the place to be. It is the only city in North America to have hosted the Summer Olympics twice.

Los Angeles has the only remaining wooden lighthouse in the state (located in San Pedro’s Fermin Park) and the largest historical theater district on the National Register of Historic Places (located Downtown on Broadway). One of L.A.'s primary cultural destinations is the Bergamot Arts Station. Home to the Santa Monica Museum of Art, this campuslike complex is a hugely popular destination for visitors from around the world.

Los Angeles is on the leading edge of several growth industries. The LA five-county area, with more than 134,000 jobs in the fashion industry, has surpassed New York’s fashion district workforce. The metro area also has more than 211,000 people at work in health sciences/biomedical activities and 361,000 people in aerospace/technology.
