What kind of help is it possible to provide given the resources and constraints of county, state and federal budgets?6. What kind of help will most effectively meet the immediate and long-term needs of workers and industry in Los Angeles County?With total employment of 226,300 workers as of December 1991, the aerospace industry represented 5% of the County's total employment and 28% of its manufacturing jobs. In 1991, Los Angeles County high technology firms had annual sales of approximately $30 billion. Aerospace workers earn from 10% to 20% more than their counterparts in the same occupations in other industries. Approximately 86% of the County's aerospace workers live within the County, as compared to 68% for the total County work force. In Fiscal Year 1990, 1,283 Los Angeles County firms received 4,184 Department of Defense (DoD) contracts worth $8.9 billion.It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors establish a policy objective of implementing an industrial development strategy for Los Angeles County and that it take the following four actions toward achieving this objective: 1) Support the policy brokering and research service required to develop and implement the County's industrial development strategy. 2) Request participation of industry, universities and other appropriate government entities in developing an integrated statement of public goals for mass transportation, environmental quality, alternative energy vehicles, and job creation for high technology workers. 3) Act on strategic industrial development opportunities identified in this report that require inter-institutional collaboration. 4) Develop a unified approach with the County's Congressional Delegation for obtaining adequate federal resources to respond to economic dislocations caused by defense cutbacks.

Download or read book Six Stops on the National Security Tour written by Miriam Pemberton and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-18 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. military economy incorporates hundreds of American communities. This is the first book to connect our national security apparatus to the local level via deeply reported portraits of six carefully selected locations, including military Meccas and out-of-the-way places. They are woven into the warfare economy by bases, nuclear weapons labs, and production sites. The book includes an invaluable overview of how the military is structured, how its budget is made, and what it costs. It also shows how the military economy perpetuates itself. In on-the-ground reporting, Pemberton traces the lines of connection between the tour stops presented here and our country’s foreign policy, industrial policy, and budget priorities. She examines the meaning of national security in the current moment, as climate change becomes what the military itself calls "an urgent and growing threat." And she dramatically demonstrates how redirecting our militarized foreign and industrial policy toward climate security can help these communities become part of the solution. For students, scholars, public servants, and all concerned citizens, this book is essential reading.
