LOS ANGELES, CA-Despite the state unemployment rate being stuck at 9.8% in January, the number doesn't reflect growth among skilled workers, says Chris Thornberg, founder of Beacon Economics. Thornberg spoke with Carrie Rossenfeld at the recent RealShare Los Angeles conference here. Areas they discussed include:
- Hospitality's role in helping unskilled workers find employment
- The desperate need for residential development here
- How fixing up the LAX area can bring visitors to the area
