LOS ANGELES COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SCORECARD
he Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-2019 Economic Development
INTRODUCTION
Scorecard provides a means for measuring the progress
of Los Angeles County’s economic development programs
across a variety of disciplines, including workforce
development, business assistance, loan programs, financial
assistance, and capital development. The Scorecard aims to
facilitate effective partnerships between the County and the
private sector. Additionally, the Scorecard provides a snapshot of the local
economy, and seeks to demonstrate how County programs can be informed
by the economic and demographic characteristics of the region.
With the Scorecard, the Chief Executive Office (CEO) is working to
standardize data collection and reporting on economic development
efforts Countywide. In this Scorecard, information is presented on FY 2018-
19. The Scorecard is issued on an annual basis, providing fiscal year data
for workforce development, business assistance, community development,
capital development and the regional economy.
The April 2020 Scorecard presents new infographics and statistics on newly
added department projects such as current active local and targeted worker
hire goals; updated data from the Los Angeles Community Development
Authority’s (LACDA) RENOVATE program (small business renovation
projects); the addition of Workforce Development, Aging, and Community
Services’ (WDACS) INVEST program (focused on the re-entry population);
new infographics on small business and financial assistance programs; and
updates to capital development projects managed by the LACDA and the
CEO.
The foremost objective of this Scorecard is to provide policy makers
information on the County’s economic development programs by leveraging
the work being done across departments, industry lines, capital programs
and other multi-disciplinary County economic development efforts. With
successful implementation of these programs, the County can seek to partner
with growth industries that offer quality jobs that enable workers to support
their families. The hope is that in turn, this will inform our policy making
process to build a more dynamic workforce, particularly in the County’s
targeted industries, incentivizing the growth of small businesses, expanding
the tax base, and assisting those individuals facing the greatest barriers to
economic success.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SCORECARD
WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT
The CEO has refined the workforce data presented in previous
Scorecards and continues to meet with departments offering workforce
development programs in order to streamline data collection.
Departmental programs serve a variety of different populations and
have reporting metrics that vary widely across the County. WDACS
and Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) administer the
largest workforce development programs in the County, with WDACS
managing the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)
Adult and Dislocated Worker Program, the Rapid Response Program
and various targeted programs for youths and seniors. Separately,
DPSS oversees several distinct programs through its General Relief
Opportunities for Work (GROW) and Greater Avenues for Independence
(GAIN) programs. The Department of Human Resource (DHR) oversees
programs to reduce barriers to County employment for the defined
targeted populations. With each scorecard, the CEO streamlines
data collection and reporting for workforce development programs
managed by other County departments.

Inventory of Programs

of several of the most important County
workforce development programs and the
services they offer. Using information collected
through numerous meetings with individual
departments, the inventory provides a summary
of the target populations and service goals of
the County’s programs for FY 2018-19.
Since 2017, the County has moved forward with several new
programs that focus on providing the County’s justice involved
population with job opportunities with a holistic set of wrap- County-administered
around services. Employment has been identified as a challenge
that must be addressed for those with a criminal background. workforce development
An average of 17,000 individuals are in the County jails at any
time, with 10,000 individuals being released each month. and job training
However, between 60 to 75 percent of formerly incarcerated
individuals are still unemployed a year after release. With a programs have been

County departments have taken a number of steps to reduce identified.
the barriers to employment for the re-entry population. In
February of 2018, WDACS, in partnership with Probation and the
Office of Diversion and Re-entry (ODR) launched the Innovative
Employment Solutions Program (INVEST). INVEST seeks to
improve employment opportunities and outcomes for County
Adult Probationers, by co-locating Deputy Probation Officers at
the America’s Job Centers of California (AJCCs) to support the
integration of probation and workforce development services,
while providing intensive case management to participants. In FY
2018-19, 514 active felony probationers have been enrolled into
the program across 6 participating AJCCs, and 126 individuals
have been placed into permanent unsubsidized employment.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SCORECARD
Performance of Workforce Development Programs
by Target Population
he CEO asked those departments
working to train and place targeted
workers to describe their programs,
the types of services provided, and
the indicators used to measure
programmatic success. As the County
works toward streamlining the
reporting requirements across County
workforce development programs, the performance
of programs across target populations is of particular
importance. This will indicate the efficacy of programs
for the most difficult to employ individuals, while guiding
the County’s strategy with regards to the sectors with
the highest propensity to hire those with barriers. The
County’s objective in bringing services to targeted
populations is aided by the fact that the WIOA program,
and its affiliated AJCCs are already focusing directly
on these individuals. WDACS has long indicated that a
majority of those who come into contact with the AJCC
system in Los Angeles County are targeted workers.
The specific information compiled by WDACS with
respect to targeted populations indicates that a high
percentage of WIOA participants are low income, basic
skills deficient or recipients of government benefits. In
FY 2018-19, the County workforce system served 1,055
individuals who were receiving CalWORKs benefits,
and 564 of those individuals were placed into either
subsidized or unsubsidized employment, of which 107
were parent youth, and of which 21 were homeless or at
risk of homelessness.

Bioscience Initiative
n 2015, the County Board of Supervisors made
economic development a priority to stimulate
regional job growth and lift residents out of
poverty. Seven industries were targeted based
on their proven ability to create jobs and wealth.
Bioscience is the first of the industry sectors
selected by the County for focused support,
creating the County’s Bioscience Initiative. The Los
Angeles region generates cutting edge bioscience
R&D and a trained workforce capable of launching and
supporting enterprises emerging from local research
institutions and incubators. Over past economic cycles
including the Great Recession, bioscience jobs have
proven unaffected by economic downturn.
