ARTICLE: Gardena In-Depth
Gardena is one of many smaller cities located between Los Angeles and Long Beach, CA. Located at the intersection of major Los Angeles freeways, it used to be nicknamed "The Freeway City." Gardena is a dense urban community with an average per-capita income of $17,263, lower than the California average of $22,711.

Gardena, population 59,727, is located near Long Beach, where one of the largest ports in the world processes hundreds of shipments around the clock. A large service sector, along with the retail, manufacturing, government, and construction industries, dominates Gardena's economy. Immigrants arriving in the Los Angeles metro area seeking work each year provide a strong labor pool for all of southern California.

The biggest employers in the Los Angeles metro area are:
  • Tourism and entertainment
  • Services
  • Manufacturing
  • Transportation
  • Los Angeles County government

With nearly 13 million people in the greater metropolitan area, the Los Angeles County government system employs over 93,000 people. Southern California has shared in the Golden State's famous real estate boom, making home ownership harder among middle- and lower-income earners.
