LA per capita does terribly in this list. The total for the LA MSA is 37 scattered across multiple towns and counties. The region has lost 4 HQs of Fortune 1000 firms in the past year (2 to TX, 1 to TN, 1 to Ohio).
The reason LA continues to remain an economic juggernaut is that its VC-backed startup ecosystem is strong (4th best in the nation), its niche specialties continue to thrive (entertainment, aerospace, elite academia, etc) and it hosts America's busiest seaport (Port of LA + Port of Long Beach).
