The Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles are the core of the largest trade complex in North America. More than 3 million jobs nationwide are supported by the two ports and nearly 230,000 jobs in the region. Direct, indirect, and induced effects from activities at the ports supported $2.78 billion in state and local taxes in 2022, plus an additional $4.73 billion in federal taxes. The ports are the base of the region’s overall Trade Cluster, which in 2022 generated more economic output than the State of Utah.
