ABOUT BEACON ECONOMICS

Job creation and fostering good government — that continues to be our focus as we bring together Los Angeles’ business and civic leaders for the 2013 ACCESS L.A. City Hall event.

Understanding the economy of Los Angeles is essential to creating new jobs, and with that in mind, the L.A. Area Chamber has once again commissioned the L.A. City Council Districts Economic Report. Response to our first three reports was excellent, and the study quickly became an important tool for City Council members, as well as the business community.

Conducted by the L.A. Area Chamber and Beacon Economics and sponsored by Farmers Insurance Group of Companies, this fourth annual study looks at economic trends by City Council district. The 2013 report compares key economic indicators for each of L.A.’s 15 City Council districts, highlighting annual employment, average wage, tax revenue and building permits over the last year.

Council members have a direct impact on projects within their districts and throughout the City. We look forward to meeting with Council members to determine how this data can be used to move forward on economic development projects in their respective districts and throughout the community.

Creating new jobs requires everyone’s commitment.

Sincerely,Gary ToebbenPresident & CEOLos Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce

The local L.A. economy continues to improve from the well-documented and disastrous downturn in 2008-09. Yet somehow, after four-years of erratic growth by various measures — employment, wages, construction permits and values, business tax gross receipts and consumer sales included — many Los Angeles businesses and residents continue to struggle. Nevertheless, these economic indicators help paint a picture of just how much the economy has grown in recent years.

} Total employment in the City of L.A. grew by 3.8 percent from 2011-12, the sharpest increase for the City since before 2005. In 2012, there were approximately 1.50 million jobs filled within the City, compared to the 1.39 million jobs at the trough of the recession (2009). Nevertheless, even as the State of California remains one of the leaders nationwide in the employment rebound, job growth in many parts of the City of Los Angeles continues to be slow in coming.

} The average wage in the City of Los Angeles decreased by 2.3 percent from 2011-12, to $57,740. The average wage is affected by the mix of jobs in the City, and the change in average wage is affected by the change in the mix of jobs from a year ago. Employment by sector shows that there was more growth in low-wage employment relative to growth in high-wage employment. Furthermore, the total payroll of all employees in the City increased by 2.2 percent, which is less than the 3.8 percent growth in total employment – another indication that new employees earned lower-than-average wages.

} Based on building permit data, construction activity seems to be gaining steam throughout the City of L.A. On the residential side, the demand has been most prevalent for multi-family units (including apartments and condominiums), as multi-family permits increased from 5,299 units in the FY2011-12 to 6,766 units in FY2012-13, while single-family permits increased from 678 to 852 over the same period. Non-residential permitting also came alive, as permit values grew by more than 20 percent over the year. A stark difference from a year ago, however, is that 19.1 percent of non-residential building permits by value were for alterations in the FY2012-13, compared to

25.9 percent in FY 2011-12. In other words, builders are a bit more confident as new structures represent more certainty in the realm of commercial real estate, while alterations can allude to the contrary.

} Consumer spending had a second encouraging year in FY2012-13, with citywide sales tax receipts up by 4.9 percent, following a 9.0 percent increase a year prior. Business revenues were up in 2012, as well. Gross business tax receipts rose by 3.2 percent, primarily in the health care and professional services sectors.

The following pages summarize trends in each district with accompanying figures highlighting different aspects of the district's economy in recent years. The first figure shows annual employment in the district for the year ending in the third quarter. The second figure plots the average wage in the district over the same time period and shows the citywide average wage for comparison. Average wage is calculated according to the wages of employed workers only, and thus does not reflect overall changes in earnings for workers who become unemployed. Changes may reflect a shift in the mix of jobs in the market, as previously mentioned. The third figure shows the value of building permits by year, broken out into residential and non-residential components. The fourth plots the value of residential construction permits, broken out by new construction and alterations to existing properties. The fifth figure shows the gross annual receipts within each district for the calendar years 2006-2012. The final figure shows the top 10 sectors for gross receipts in 2011, with their 2010 levels for comparison.

There were approx. 1.50 MILLION jobs filled within the City in 2012

DATA SUMMARY

District BoundariesAll selected data was based on new city council boundaries as approved by the Los Angeles City Council in June 2012. Data were geographically coded in order to reflect new district boundaries in all previous years detailed. Los Angeles City Business Tax (Gross Receipts Tax)This data set was prepared by the Office of Finance for the City of L.A. Covered under the City’s business tax ordinance, this privilege tax is designed to produce revenue for the city, not to regulate business operations in any way. All businesses are required to pay the business tax at a rate determined by the type of products and services provided by each company (defined in sections 21.53 to 21.197 in the City’s business tax ordinance), with the exception of organizations formed only for religious or charitable purposes, which are exempt. The City’s Office of Finance collects this tax based upon the businesses gross receipts and type of business. The data reported here include gross receipts from firms that have a physical location inside the City of L.A. Firms that do business in L.A. but do not have a physical location within the city limits are excluded. Gross receipts data are broken down by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) sector, but often firms do not have a NAICS code and are included in the unclassified sector. These data are excluded from the sectoral breakdown graphics, but often constitute a large share of a district's total. The gross receipts tax holiday for all new businesses in L.A., regardless of size, was extended to three years in August 2010.

Los Angeles City Sales Tax ReceiptsObtained from the Office of Finance for the City of L.A., sales tax receipts are a dollar count of revenue from sales tax in each city council district. The data cover FY2010-13.

Building Permit DataThe Department of Building and Safety for the City of L.A. keeps a database of all building permits granted within the City, both commercial and residential. The database contains permits for new construction as well as permits for alterations to existing structures. The parcel number and/or the address are inputted into geographic information system software to determine the appropriate council district. All of the data in the construction charts has been smoothed using moving averages to reduce the statistical noise and seasonality of the data.

Employment DataDrawn from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW, formerly the ES-202) this database provides the number of employers, employees, and total payroll for the third quarter of each year (generally the peak employment quarter). The California Employment Development Department’s Labor Market Information Division provided this data for each district. County employment changes are drawn from the employment by industry report, while the unemployment rate data is found in the unemployment and labor force report. Note: prior to 2009, employment data from one large employer was coded as part of District 1 but not in the years that followed. Data in the employment chart for District 1 are reported as coded with the Employment Development Department. Employees that were formerly coded with that employer as part of District 1 were recoded into other districts, in turn increasing total employment in those other districts beginning in 2009.

City Council District 1, extending northwest from downtown Los Angeles, has a population of 222,165 people. The centrally located district is crossed by I-5 and Route 101, while the 110 freeway spans the length of the district. The third-smallest City Council district in terms of area, District 1 has more than 4,000 firms that employ roughly 90,000 people.

} Over 2012, employment in District 1 increased by 16.6 percent — the highest percentage among all districts. Unfortunately, employment in the district has demonstrated to be an unstable measure, with a 9.6 percent decline in 2011, preceded by a 25.0 percent increase in 2010. Also, prior to 2009, total employment estimates in the district included a large employer that has been omitted from later Employment Development Department coding.

} The average wage in District 1 for the 2012 year was $47,772. The average wage remains 17 percent below the citywide average of $57,740. Nevertheless, District 1 is catching up — the average wage in the district increased by 7.4 percent, compared to the 1.5 percent decline citywide.

} The sector demonstrating the most job growth in the district over the year was professional, scientific and technical services (34 percent). Meanwhile, the manufacturing sector had the biggest job losses (5.7 percent).

} The value of building permits in District 1 totaled $225.6 million during FY2012-13 —more than a three-fold increase from the previous year.

} The bulk of construction permitting growth came from the other new construction category, yet multi-family housing and new commercial properties certainly witnessed superior growth over the year.

} Gross receipts —a measurement of taxes on corporate revenue in a district — in District 1 increased by 7.0 percent in 2012, on top of the 2.2 percent growth the year before.

} The sectors demonstrating the most ample growth include transportation and warehousing (10.6 percent), educational services (217 percent) and administrative support services (57.6 percent).

} Sales tax receipts — a measurement of consumer spending in a district — grew by 23.7 percent in District 1 in FY2012-13, the highest growth of any district in the City.

City Council District 2 in the San Fernando Valley stretches from the hills of Studio City to the edge of Verdugo Mountains Park in Sun Valley. It is also home to the NoHo Arts District, a region brewing with creativity, as well as entertainment production studios along with parks and schools. One of the least densely populated districts due to its large area (approximately 50 square miles), District 2 is home to roughly 5,500 firms and 56,776 jobs. The average wage in the district falls below the average wage for the City as a whole by nearly $12,000 per year.

} Employment in District 2 grew by approximately 6.4 percent in 2012, to 56,776 jobs, the third consecutive year of job growth.

} The average annual wage failed to demonstrate any growth in District 2 over 2012 (0.1 percent), while the citywide average wage declined by approximately 1.5 percent.

} The lion’s share of job growth over the year came from the district’s private education establishments (34 percent). Two other sectors showcased remarkable job growth over the year — retail trade (11.0 percent) and accommodations (8.5 percent).

} Residential building permit values for new structures, at a total of $68.7 million during FY2012-13, were a step-back from the previous year’s total ($327.5 million), due primarily to a spike in multi-family units that year.

} Non-residential planned construction, meanwhile, was cut more than half — from $14.7 million during FY2011-12 to $6.7 million during FY2012-13.

} Gross receipts in District 2 increased for the second consecutive year, up 4.9 percent in 2012 from 2011, on top the 0.8 percent growth from the previous year.

} Gross receipts in the district's largest sector, retail trade, grew by approximately 1.2 percent. The sectors with significant gains include manufacturing (28.3 percent) and professional services (10.1 percent).

} Sales tax receipts rose to $23.1 million during FY2012-13, by 3.1 percent increase over the year on top of the 8.8 percent increase the year before.

} Employment in District 3 grew by approximately 3.9 percent in 2012 to 97,767 jobs, the highest annual growth in the district throughout the economic recovery.

} The average wage in District 3 increased by 3.8 percent over the year to $53,065 in 2012 — one of only five districts to experience average wage growth during the year.

} Health care and social services, the district’s largest sector by employment, added the most jobs over the year (6.9 percent). Also of note, the construction sector is showing signs of life as employment increased for the first time since the housing crash (8.6 percent or 350 new jobs).

} The value of building permits in District 3 declined by 5.3 percent to $264.9 million during FY2012-13.

} Permit values for new commercial structures declined by 75 percent over the year. } Meanwhile, residential planned construction in District 3 had its best year since the

housing crash, due primarily to a three-fold increase in permit valuations for new multi-family units over the year.

} Gross receipts declined in 2012 by 0.2 percent, marking the third consecutive year with receipts below the $32 million mark.

} The majority of the net decrease came from the health care and social services sector (6.5 percent); yet the sector was still, by far, the largest source of receipts in the district. Measured by percentage change, the finance and insurance sector experienced the sharpest decline (23.6 percent).

} Sales tax receipts in District 3 increased by 4.6 percent in FY2012-13, compared to the 2.7 percent increase in FY2011-12. Consumer spending in FY2012-13 in District 3 remains the third highest district in the City of L.A.

City Council District 3, the westernmost district in the City of Los Angeles, is composed of five San Fernando Valley communities: Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Reseda, Winnetka and Canoga Park. District 3 is home to slightly more than 8,400 firms. Average annual wages in the district are $53,000, below the City average of $57,740.

percent (4,400 jobs). } The average annual wage in the district declined by 4.1 percent over the year, from $57,201 to

$54,860. This figure may not accurately represent the average worker’s wage as it is skewed by job losses in the high-wage information sector.

} Building permit values in District 4 declined by 5.4 percent from $280.0 million in FY2011-12 to $264.9 million in FY2012-13.

} Construction activity seemed to change course in the district, from primarily non-residential construction in FY2011-12 to primarily residential construction in FY2012-13. As such, non-residential permit values declined by $156.9 million over the year, while residential permit values increased by $141.8 million.

} Gross receipts in District 4 declined by 1.5 percent in 2012 to $28.1 million. This was the second-largest decline in the City of Los Angeles.

} The district's largest sector, retail trade, grew by an impressive 10.8 percent in 2012. Yet other large sectors did not fare as well. For example, receipts from health care and social services establishments declined by 20.0 percent, while receipts from finance and insurance establishments declined by 17.7 percent.

} Sales tax receipts in District 4 increased by 5.2 percent to $39.1 million during FY2012-13, slightly below the citywide growth of 4.9 percent.

DISTRICT 4

City Council District 5 comprises the inland communities of west Los Angeles and stretches northward along the 405 into the San Fernando Valley. With approximately 187,000 jobs, District 5 boasts the second highest employment numbers behind District 14. Due in no small part to the legal and business center of Century City, average wages in the district - at slightly more than $73,000 per year - are well above the City average and are the highest in the City.

} Employment in District 5 grew by approximately 3.3 percent in 2012 to 187,328 jobs. } District 5 continues to post the highest average annual wage among districts in the City of

L.A., at $73,155. However, the average wage in District 5 declined by 6.5 percent from $78,257 in 2012.

} The two sectors providing the most new jobs over the year were accommodation and food services (6.5 percent or 1,200 jobs) and retail trade (6.1 percent or 900 jobs). The emergence of these two sectors in the district distorted the district-wide average wage metric, as average wages within these sectors are themselves skewed by the high concentration of part-time employees (wages are calculated using annual payrolls per employee, not worker hours). From an aggregate perspective, total payrolls in the district declined by 3.5 percent over the year, almost half the pace as the average wage.

} Residential planned construction continues to excel in District 5. Residential building permit values for new structures reached $159.9 million in FY2012-13, compared with $60.5 million the previous year. Permit values for single-family homes more than tripled over the year, while permit values for multi-family homes nearly doubled.

} Non-residential building permit values, meanwhile, dipped in FY2012-13. New commercial permit values decreased from $45.1 million in FY2011-12 to $22.2 million in FY2012-13; while non-residential alterations declined by $9.3 million over the same period. Gross receipts in District 5 grew by 2.7 percent in 2012 to $69.5 million, after a 3.2 percent increase in 2011.

} Gross receipts increased from professional and business services establishments, the district's top largest sector by receipts, increased by $2.6 million (13.8 percent) over the year. Yet some of the gains were offset by a faltering finance and insurance sector, which declined by $1.1 million (12.4 percent) over the year.

} On the consumer side, sales tax receipts posted another year of strong growth, at 7 percent, compared to 7.2 percent in FY2011-12. The rate of growth in FY2012-13 was second to only district 1 among districts in the City of L.A.

DISTRICT 5

City Council District 6, located in the geographic center of the San Fernando Valley, is home to the communities of Arleta, North Hills East, West Van Nuys/Lake Balboa, Panorama City, Sun Valley, and parts of Van Nuys and North Hollywood. The district employs around 71,000 people at approximately 5,000 firms. Average wages for those workers are about $44,630 per year, placing wages in the district about $13,000 below the City average.

} Employment in District 6 increased by approximately 3.1 percent in 2012 to a total of 71,217 jobs.

} The average annual wage in District 6 decreased by 3.4 percent in 2012 to $44,630, which is nearly 30 percent less than the citywide average.

} Sector-by-sector employment growth was widespread across the board as four sectors added approximately 500 jobs —construction, health care and social assistance, retail trade and administrative support services.

} Residential building permit values for new structures came in at approximately $26.2 million during FY2012-13, a dip from the previous year’s total ($28.9 million). Along with residential alteration permit values, which only tallied $5.5 million, permit values have declined for the second consecutive year and remain depleted in comparison to the pre-recession high of $179.5 million in 2007.

} Non-residential planned construction, meanwhile, increased for the second consecutive year during FY2012-13. Over the last year, permit values for new commercial buildings increased from $17.6 million to $18.8 million.

} Gross receipts in District 6 increased by 7.9 percent to $16.2 million in 2012 —a turnaround from the five consecutive years of decline.

} The increase is attributable primarily to strong revenue growth in three particular sectors —health care (20.0 percent), professional and business services (17.7 percent), and transportation and warehousing (10.0 percent).

} Sales tax receipts increased by 1.4 percent in FY2012-13, the least growth among all districts citywide.

City Council District 7 in the northeast San Fernando Valley is home to several manufacturers and construction firms. The District employs more than 47,000 people at 2,709 companies, indicating the relatively larger size of the firms in District 7. Jobs pay an average annual wage of $50,109, a little more than $7,000 below the City average.

} Employment in District 7 diminished by approximately 1.1 percent in 2012 to 47,345 jobs. } The average wage in district 7 increased by 4.2 percent over the year to $50,109 in 2012 —the

sharpest increase of any district in L.A. } Manufacturing, the district’s largest sector by employment, shed the most jobs over the year

(4.2 percent or 500 jobs), with construction close behind (10.7 percent or 350 jobs). Growth in retail trade employment (4.2 percent or 275 jobs) over the year offset some of the losses.

} Residential planned construction in District 7 has plateaued, returning to under $50 million in building permit values for the fourth year since the FY2009. Multi-family permit values, in particular, declined steeply from $67.7 million in FY2011-12 to $15.0 million in FY2012-13.

} The Non-residential sector seems to be picking up the slack, as planned construction in the district up from $6.7 million a year ago to $34.7 million in FY2012-13.

} Gross receipts in District 7 slipped by 0.7 percent to $7.4 million in 2012 from a year before. Receipts remain well below the pre-recession high of nearly $9 million in the 2007.

} Two sectors demonstrating the most ample growth in the district —health care and real estate services. Yet these gains were offset by lower receipts from the retail trade and construction sectors.

} Sales tax receipts in District 7 grew by 3.2 percent to $27.0 million in FY2012-13 and are 12.0 percent greater than they were in FY2010-11.

DISTRICT 7

Council District 8 in south Los Angeles is one of the most diverse and densely populated districts in the City. The district runs west of the 110 freeway and reaches I-10 at its northernmost point. Among the City Council districts, District 8 employs the fewest number of people (slightly more than 15,400) and is also home to the least firms (approximately 1,400). Average annual wages in the district (approximately $31,300) fall well below the City average.

} Employment in District 8 declined by approximately 0.5 percent in 2012 to a total of 15,421 jobs.

} The district continues to struggle with low worker incomes, as the average annual wage decreased by 5.4 percent from $33,142 in 2011 to $31,360 in 2012.

} Most of the jobs lost over the year came from the health care and social assistance sector (11.6 percent or 300 jobs), which explains the decline in average wages as the sector generally provides above-average wages

} Building permit values in District 8 during FY2012-13 reached $47.0 million, a decline from $72.6 million the previous year. Both residential and non-residential permit values are at their lowest levels since FY2003-04.

} The 2012 year was another difficult one for businesses in District 8 as gross receipts declined by 1.6 percent over the year from $3.03 million to $2.98 million.

} The overall decline in 2012 gross receipts was primarily the effect of a 38.8 percent decrease in what used to be the district's largest sector, health care, on top of the 32.6 percent decrease in 2011.

} Nevertheless, consumer spending in the district was impressive in FY2012-13, with sales tax receipts increasing by 6.1 percent to $7.0 million, on top of the 9.9 percent increase the previous year.

City Council District 10, geographically one of the smallest districts, lies west of downtown and is split into rougly equal halves by I-10. More than 63,000 people work in the District at about 5,923 firms. The average wage, at almost $40,000 per year, falls about $17,000 below the City average.

} Employment in District 10 increased to 63,177 jobs in 2012, a 7.5 percent increase from the year before.

} The average annual wage for workers in District 10 decreased for the second consecutive year from $43,247 in 2010 to $39,869 in 2011, and finally to $39,622 in 2012.

} Three combined sectors added the majority of new jobs — administrative support services (1,000 jobs), arts and entertainment (1,000 jobs) and retail trade (950 jobs). As these are generally filled with low-wage and part-time workers, the addition of new employees reduces the district’s average annual wage. As such, total payrolls increased by 6.9 percent over the year.

} Residential planned construction in District 10 had its worst year in recent history, with only $26.7 million permitted activity in FY2012-13, compared to $31.9 million a year ago and $83.2 million the year before.

} Nonresidential planned construction in the district, meanwhile, grew by 28 percent over the year to $26.6 million in FY2012-13. The foundation of non-residential construction changed from a year ago as now the majority of non-residential planned construction is for new structures instead of alterations.

} Gross receipts in District 10 grew by 1.2 percent in 2012, on top of the 2.6 percent bump the previous year.

} The two largest sectors in the district, as measured by receipts, grew over the year — retail trade by 7.3 percent and professional business services by 2.2 percent. Yet both were overshadowed by substantial growth stemming from the Wholesale Trade sector, where receipts increased by 84.0 percent over the year.

} FY2012-13 was also a strong year for consumer spending in the district. Sales tax receipts increased by 5.5 percent, compared to 4.9 percent citywide.

City Council District 12 in the northwest San Fernando Valley is the second largest City Council district, covering nearly 60 square miles. Given its size, the district is naturally one of the larger employment centers in the City, with about 97,000 jobs and almost 6,800 firms inside its borders. The average wage in the district is $43,000 and falls more than $14,000 below the City average.

} Employment in District 12 increased by approximately 2.4 percent in 2012, to a total of 97,425 jobs.

} The average annual wage in District 12 decreased by 4.6 percent from $45,477 to $43,480, while total payrolls decreased by 2.1 percent.

} Sector-by-sector job growth shows that the administrative and support services sector (1,200 jobs) provided the majority of job growth in the district. Grouped with a decline in professional, scientific, and technical service (300 jobs) and information (100 jobs) employment, the changing dynamics within what is sometimes referred to as — office workers shifted away from the higher-wage sectors and into the lower-wage sector. Hence, the average wage and total payrolls decline over the year.

} Building permit values in District 12 through FY2012-13 totaled $203.6 million, compared to $157.5 million the previous year.

} Residential building permits were once again dominated by multi-family units in FY2012-13, 794 permits in multi-family compared to 84 single-family permits. In the last eight years, permits for nearly 4,000 multi-family units have been filed, compared to less than 600 permits for single-family units.

} Nonresidential planned construction in the FY2012-13 surpassed last year’s total by $7 million, with a total of $32.9 million in building permits.

} Gross receipts in District 12 increased by 0.4 percent to $19.0 million in 2012, a dip from last year’s growth of 3.6 percent and well below the citywide growth of 3.2 percent in 2012.

} Gross receipts in the district's were hindered by a substantial decline in the construction sector, which fell to 49.3 percent over the year. Yet this sector had an equally large spike in 2011.

} On the consumer side, sales tax receipts gained an additional 1.9 percent from 2011 to 2012, following the 6.6 percent growth from the previous year.

City Council District 13, geographically the smallest and most densely populated of the Council districts, sits between downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood. District 13 is home to major film/entertainment corporations, hospitals and about 260,000 residents.

For 125 years, the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce has

championed the needs of the business community and the citizens

of the Los Angeles region. This work has taken on many forms —

from serving as the voice of the business community in the halls of

government, to promoting economic development and fostering

collaboration throughout the community — all in an e� ort to ensure

economic prosperity and quality of life.

Upon its inception, one of the Chamber’s fi rst e� orts was to lobby

Congress to create a deep water port. Soon after, the Chamber

recognized the need for good manufacturing jobs and mobilized a

national e� ort to secure plants and factories in the region. This e� ort

extended to building markets both nationally and abroad for local

products. Aiming to fuel more trade through the Port of Los Angeles,

the Chamber focused on securing a shipping canal in Central America,

and in 1914, the Panama Canal opened and further connected L.A. to

the world.

All of these e� orts by the Chamber helped create the most broad-

based, sustainable regional economy in the nation, as well as secure

the region’s status as a leader in global trade. Today, with the world’s

No. 6 busiest customs district, the L.A. region is the home to two-way

trade valued at more than $386 billion.
