    The trouble with LA is that it is a city of freelancers. (That is what actors are basically.) So when the "unemployment rate" goes up, people who freelance, or consider them selves self-employed, get left out because they are not counted in the numbers. Plus most economic growth here over the past 5 years was centered around the real estate bubble...when that collapsed, the city's economy was hit very hard.
    I know many people who have left for greener pastures.
