Los Angeles Commercial Real Estate Construction jobs up sharply
The Los Angeles / long beach area added more real estate construction jobs than any other metro in the country with the exception of Atlanta.
The 8% increase places Los Angeles mid pack in rankings but in raw numbers, 9,100 new jobs was more than any other metro except Atlanta, which added 10,500, a 12% increase.
The Southern California gains weren’t just in the Los Angeles area as Orange County added 8,200 jobs and San Diego added 5,300.
The national primary markets of comparable jobs numbers added about half of the Los Angeles number.
We could use some additional Los Angeles commercial industrial / distribution / warehouse space from LAX north and also West Los Angeles and Santa Monica net leased retail property.
