Los Angeles County, the home of Hollywood that crowns American economy

More than 10 million people live in Los Angeles County, making it the most populous county in the country

Silicon Valley and Wall Street are well-known for producing some of the nation’s most successful businesses, but it’s actually Los Angeles County, the home of Hollywood, that crowns the American economy.
 

Los Angeles County contributed $656 billion in gross domestic product, or 27 per cent of California’s economic output, in 2015, according to a Bloomberg analysis of the most recent data available from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. That’s the largest amount of goods and services produced among 3,000-plus counties in the US and equal to the economic might of Saudi Arabia.
