With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
