(L.A. County Libertarian Reporter) The most recent Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) from the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) reveals that the majority of jobs for the top principal employers in six counties are government jobs.
In the six southern California counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura and Imperial, more than half of the top employers in those counties, on average, are government entities.
Table 13 on Page 96 of the 104 page document lists Principal Employers By County in the SCAG Region for 2008.
San Bernardino County tops the list of private employers with six out of ten of the top employers in the county being private; including Loma Linda University Medical Center, Stater Brothers Market,
United Parcel Service, Target Corporation, Barrett Business Services, and Wal-Mart Stores.
Eighteen of the 60 top employers for the 6 counties were public school districts, along with one community college. one ‘office of education’ and three University of California campuses, including UC Irvine, UC Riverside, and UCLA.
