Business news — markets, jobs and the economy

The Business section covers the economy from Wall Street to the Southern California job market: the stock markets and your investments, company news and earnings, jobs, housing, interest rates, inflation and the industries — from entertainment and aerospace to tech and the ports — that drive the LA economy.

We explain the economy in plain language, so you understand what is behind the numbers and how decisions by central banks, governments and companies show up in everyday life — in rents, the price of groceries and the outlook for your line of work.

The economy ties into the bigger picture — follow also U.S. news, world news and politics.
