L.A.’s Tech Market Is Growing

Los Angeles’ tech market is growing. According to a report from CBRE, the market has created double the number of tech jobs and tech degrees than Orange County. It ranks 26th in the nation for tech jobs.

“Los Angeles is an attractive market for tech talent due to the cluster of higher education—UCLA, USC, Caltech and others—the diversity of industry, its unique cultural fabric, its geography, and the Southern California lifestyle,” Jeff Pion, vice chairman at CBRE, tells GlobeSt.com. “We produce more engineers in Los Angeles, for example, than the Bay Area.  And with an increased focus on health and wellness do to the current COVID situation, we believe that Los Angeles will continue to attract people because of the outdoors, the beaches, and the general emphasis on a healthy lifestyle.”
