Projections for those occupations that will see the highest growth through the next decade in Los Angeles County, what qualifications they require and what they pay.
When the Almanac first heard that the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) was threatening to take TV channel ABC-7 off the air, we thought it was a joke. This station has broadcast to the L.A. region for 75 years and now the FCC questions its commitment to fairly serving Angelenos. The Almanac has monitored L.A.’s media for close to three decades and sees ABC-7 as fairly serving this diverse and complex region as well as any other. It comes down to the current administration in Washington D.C. not being happy that ABC-7’s parent – the Walt Disney Company – won't be bullied into serving its political agenda.
Let the FCC know if you think ABC-7 should remain on the air. You have until July 29 to do so. Message the FCC.

Circa 1939. Auto traffic streams by Union Station (then known as Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal), along Alameda Boulevard in Los Angeles. Opened in 1939, the station was the last of America’s great train stations to be built. Not long after its opening, it experienced a massive surge in rail passengers during the World War II years (1941-1945). Large numbers of military personnel transitted through Los Angeles, as well as new arrivals seeking work in Southern California's booming war industry.
The U.S. Census does not count people by sexual orientation. What do we actually know about the size of Los Angeles County's queer community?
