A new report released today by the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC) reaffirmed Los Angeles International Airport’s (LAX’s) role as a major economic generator in Southern California – creating 620,610 local jobs, and its on-going, capital-improvement program, another 121,640 annual jobs.
LAX has long been recognized as being an economic engine for the six-county Southern California region and this new report quantified LAX’s total economic and fiscal impacts from airport activity and airport services, as well as from its on-going capital-improvement program…
Over a 15-year period starting in 2008, Los Angeles World Airports will have spent more than $14 billion to re-imagine, renovate and rebuild LAX. The LAEDC study looked at the significant and positive economic impacts of $10.1 billion in spending for capital-improvement projects.
The on-going LAX Modernization Program, which is expected to finish in 2023, is creating 121,640 additional annual jobs, with labor income of $7.6 billion, $20.3 billion in business revenues (output), $966 million in state and local taxes, and $8.7 billion in federal tax revenues.
“LAX is powering an economic resurgence across our city, and we are investing billions to make it even stronger,” said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. “Today’s LAEDC report confirms that this generational investment in our airport is paying off with hundreds of thousands of jobs for Angelenos and billions added to our local economy.”
