The Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC) recently released a new report, “Growing Together – Japan and Los Angeles County”. The report describes many of the close ties that have developed between Los Angeles County and Japan, the number one source of foreign direct investment into L.A. County.

U.S. – Japan trade has increased dramatically over the past 50 years jumping from $3.2 billion to $211 billion at its peak in 2000. Japan is the second largest trading partner of the Los Angeles Customs District with the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach together handling nearly 25 percent of total trade between Japan and the U.S. The report also documents the growing importance of foreign direct investment in this relationship, reviewing both investments made by Los Angeles area business firms in Japan and Japanese investments in Los Angeles County.

To discuss their investments made in the region, the LAEDC’s Economic Forecast event was held at the Los Angeles Marriott on Feb. 16, and featured a panel of speakers from well-known Japanese companies. Representatives from Honda Motors, Union Bank and Yakult, makers of probiotic beverages, will discuss the significant impact of Japanese companies on the L.A. County economy.

In L.A. County, international trade, entertainment and tourism leads regional economy.

A separate report shows striking economic and personal ties with Japan

Los Angeles — The economic recovery is under way led by increased international trade and growth in the high-tech sector, entertainment and tourism, according to the 2011-2012 Economic Forecast and Industry Outlook report released today by the Kyser Center for Economic Research at the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC).

The Los Angeles economy “appears to be past the bottom of the recession and is starting up the recovery path during 2011 and 2012,” said LAEDC Chief Economist Nancy D. Sidhu, Ph.D. “Many industries are back in the black and employment is rising in some areas.”

Imports and exports have rebounded around the world. Increased international trade activity in 2011 will benefit the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, which both posted strong years in 2010.

Hiring is also expected to grow as well for the region’s tourism and entertainment sectors as a result of increased filming and more visitors to the region, helped by the new convention center hotel at L.A. LIVE.

However, there is little likelihood the housing sector will escape another difficult year, even though 2011 is expected to bring some improvement. Housing activity will only see incremental improvement even though it has improved from the 2009 lows.

California, which had the second highest unemployment rate in the country in 2010 at 12.5 percent, will see employment growth in 2011. However, much like the national picture, California’s jobless rate will remain relatively high, with the LAEDC forecasting an average unemployment rate of 12.1 percent this year and the rate coming down to 11.5 percent by next year.

“We project that the California and U.S. economies will grow moderately in 2011 and 2012,” said Sidhu. “But the recession was so deep, 2011 won’t feel all that good despite improvements in most industries. However, the state is headed in the right direction, and the economy will seem even better by 2012.”

Growing Together report highlights L.A. County’s personal and economic ties with Japan

The LAEDC also released a separate, new report, “Growing Together – Japan and Los Angeles County”. The report describes many of the close ties that have developed between Los Angeles County and Japan, the number one source of foreign direct investment into L.A. County.

U.S. – Japan trade has increased dramatically over the past 50 years jumping from $3.2 billion to $211 billion at its peak in 2000. Japan is the second largest trading partner of the Los Angeles Customs District with the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach together handling nearly 25 percent of total trade between Japan and the U.S. The report also documents the growing importance of foreign direct investment in this relationship, reviewing both investments made by Los Angeles area business firms in Japan and Japanese investments in Los Angeles County.

Universal City, CA - “It’s Great to be here amongst many of my colleagues I have worked with over the years,” Regis Philbin said before tonight’s (Saturday 01-22-11) Radio TV News Assn. Gold Mike Awards’ dinner at the Universal Hilton. “It’s even nicer when you are honored by my peers at RTNA as he was getting his photo taken with KNX Business Hour Host Frank Mottek and others.” Philbin is in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most hours on television of anyone in the world. He has entertained generations as the host of the daily talk show “Live with Regis and Kelly,” and his career is now into its seventh decade. He started with “The Regis Philbin Show” in San Diego and soon moved to Los Angeles. His first national exposure came as the announcer for ABC’s nightly talk-variety program “The Joey Bishop Show.”

George Mc Quade congratulates Regis Philbin on his Golden Mike Lifetime Achivement award in TV. Regis has more hours clocked than anyone in the world.

Philbin also was the original host of the blockbuster “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” game show. He is receiving the RTNA’s first-ever “Broadcast Legend Award” for his stature and excellence in broadcasting. Philbin earlier announced this week on his nationally famous “Live With Regis And Kelly” show that he would be stepping down later this year. KNX won the Golden Mike for “Best Radio Newscast Over 15 Minutes,” while KFI won “Best Radio Newscast Under 15 Minutes” for major market stations. KNBC was honored tonight with the awards for “Best Daytime” and “Best Half Hour” newscasts, while KTTV won the Golden Mike for “Best 60-Minute Newscast” at the 61st Annual Golden Mike Awards in Universal City.

KNBC-TV’s longest running TV Anchor Kelly Lange, who started as a weather girl, and Sunday live talk show host was given a “Lifetime Achievement Award.” She dished out plenty of stories over the decades at Channel 4 News, where explicatives were accidentally aired by such famous people at Tom Brokaw and others she worked with at the Peacock station in Burbank. Kelly Lange was the first female weeknight television news anchor in Southern California. Her career started in 1967 as an airborne traffic reporter for KABC-AM radio.

KNBC-TV Anchor Kelly Lange was one of the longest running NBC LA anchor at the station. She was hired as a weather girl when Tom Brokaw was filling in as an anchor. I had the pleasure of working with her before she retire, too.

She joined KNBC-TV in 1971 where she spent 28 years. Lange won numerous awards, including multiple Golden Mikes and Emmys. She became nationally known as a fill-in anchor on NBC’s “Today” and “Tomorrow” shows. She developed a second career as a novelist and has half-a-dozen books to her credit.

The Golden Mikes Awards for broadcast news excellence are presented annually by the RTNA, the non-profit group representing broadcast newsrooms in Los Angeles, San Diego, and all of the other markets from Bakersfield south to the Mexican border. Longtime Los Angeles television anchors Kelly Lange, retired from KNBC and currently an author, and Jose A. Ronstadt, currently with Telemundo in Los Angeles, were presented with “Lifetime Achievement Awards.

“The awards were presented at the Universal Hilton Hotel as part of ceremonies honoring the best in radio, television, and internet broadcast journalism in Southern California. José Ronstadt is a longtime television news anchor—and household name in Spanish-language broadcasting. His career includes long stints at KVEA-TV, KWHY-TV and KMEX-TV. Ronstadt has produced and hosted a number of internationally broadcast news, sports and entertainment shows and specials. In addition to his storied career in news, Ronstadt is well-known for his community involvement. He’s also heavily involved in the world of mariachi music and is a member of the International Mariachi Hall of Fame.

Hollywood, CA – “She was a tough lady, but will always be remembered as one who was very protective of her clients as we should be,” said EPPS President Henri Bollinger, who had talked to the slain longtime Publicist Ronni Chasen the day before she was gunned down in Beverly Hill, Ca.

The Publicist was driving home on Sunset Blvd. from an after-party and the premiere of Cher’s new movie “Burlesque.” Detectives said they believed it was a deliberate hit, when they discovered the publicist in her black Mercedes sedan, which was wrapped around a light pole.  Chasen had suffered five gunshot wounds to the chest according to police.

“I was so traumatized that I realized that I was still only worried about an answer on a project, when a friend called and told me of her tragedy,” said Bollinger.

“It was then I realize that we need to live for the day, and you can not always be concerned over what you believe is important or a benefit to me. It took the better part of the day to reconcile,” he said.

Founder of apparel brand Forever 21 to be honored for economic leadership in L.A. County

Los Angeles —The Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC) today announced Do Won Chang, the founder of Forever 21, one of the world’s fastest growing fashion brands, as its individual Eddy® Awards honoree. Inaugurated in 1996, the annual Eddy Awards gala has become the most important economic development award program in the state of California. This year’s 15th anniversary event will be held on Wednesday, November 10th, at the Beverly Hilton.

Headquartered in the City of Los Angeles, Forever 21 began in 1984 and has since become synonymous with trendy, affordable fashions. Do Won Chang and his wife Jin Sook Chang emigrated from South Korea in 1981 in search of the American Dream, and began their fashion empire with their first store in Highland Park. Since then, Forever 21 has grown to 457 stores in 15 countries with sales of nearly $3.0 billion annually.

In Los Angeles County, Forever 21 operates dozens of stores throughout the region’s malls and shopping centers, employing more than 3,000 people and thousands more through their supply network.    Taking advantage of the wealth of talent in Los Angeles County’s nation-leading creative industry, Forever 21’s apparel and merchandise is designed in L.A. County, with a large percentage of their products also being manufactured here.  Their vertically integrated model allows them to design, manufacture and distribute merchandise faster than their competitors, an important factor of Forever 21’s success.

New Offices and theBusiness High TechCenter Dedicated at Open House

Los Angeles, CA – The Latino Business Chamber of Greater Los Angeles
(LBC-GLA) held a recent open house and ribbon cutting ceremony in downtown Los Angeles to officially dedicate its new office complex and Business Technology Training Center. The new offices are now located at 634 S. Spring Street, Los Angeles, 90014.

The five dozen work stations were donated by PERI Software Solutions, Inc., which also opened a Los Angeles office in the Wells Fargo Tower in the business district downtown earlier this year.  “Technology is critical in today’s working environment, and having the right tools to get the job done is equally important,” said President & CEO Sarav Periasamy, PERI Software. “We believe that technology helps any business organization on the move. As a business solutions company we know the value of having a business training center.””

The event spotlighted and hosted a rising political star, Chamber President and San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, who received a compliment from the big Lone Star state of Texas. Texas political insider and member of the George W. Bush Administration, Mark McKinnon said, “Julian Castro has a very good chance of becoming the first Hispanic president of the United States,” in a recent quote in a New York Times article.

“We are proud to help open this Business Technology Training Center, a first of its kind for services to chamber members,” Castro said. Other sponsors, who were present at the ribbon cutting ceremony included: Verizon Regional President, Tim Mc Callion and AT&T Vice President Karime Sanchez Bradvica.  PERI Software was represented by Peter Wiersma, vice president of Business Development.

Julian Castro’s political career took off a few years after completing law school and in 2009 he was elected as the Mayor of the seventh largest city in the country, at the age of 34.

Castro, who worked with the senior White House staff on employment, energy, and other regional and national issues, noted the particular importance of technology in the emerging Latino business community.
