Los Angeles County is the largest manufacturing center in America, however, almost 360,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost since 1990. This statistic is troubling because these jobs are typically held by the working middle-class. Unfortunately, these jobs are being outsourced to cheaper workers out of state. This Los Angeles Times piece recognizes Cal Spas and Casey Loyd for keeping manufacturing jobs in Southern California.
Loyd states that Southern California has the smartest people and the most skilled laborers, which are necessary for the quality products that Cal Spas outputs. Additionally, access to overseas transport makes it easy for global transport, which is how the Cal Spas brand has been proliferated in homes around the world.
