> The dominant industry here will always be Hollywood

Hollywood is the #6 industry in LA by output. #1 is real estate.

In terms of employment, the government is the largest employer, followed by universities (UCLA/USC), medical (Cedars-Sinai/Kaiser) and then Fox (the #7 employer).



Yes, but Hollywood is the fuel for those other industries, not the other way around.


Which has zero to do with what the dominant industry is.


> In terms of employment, the government is the largest employer

Really ? Is that the only state like that, and why is it so in California?


Pretty normal for government to be the largest single employer, outside smaller towns or cities with one huge employer.


Texas is another state that derives a great deal of its employment from the Federal government. Lots of military bases in both states.
