What is the main idea of the news item?
California’s economy is still huge, even though recession has slowed growth. If California were a country, it would have the world’s eighth largest economy, with farming, high technology, manufacturing, entertainment and tourism.
International trade is rebounding. It increased dramatically last year. Economist Nancy Sidhu of the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation says the state’s high tech sector is also doing well.
Retail sales have partially made up the losses of the recession, and some consumers are buying again. But wholesale merchant Liang Liang is caught between high costs and low demand. He says his imported home decorations and tourist souvenirs are not yet selling well, and his cost for cotton T-shirts has risen 25 percent since January.
Temporary workers are finding jobs and those who provide professional services, including lawyers and accountants, are doing better. Film production is up, and some in the movie industry are getting work now.
But California’s problems include crowded highways and aging rail lines, air and port facilities. The state ranks near the bottom of the US states in its infrastructure, says economist Susanne Trimbath, who is working on a national study with the US Chamber of Commerce.
She says farm products, whether fruit from the West Coast or corn from Nebraska, sometimes travel a round-about route because of infrastructure failing.
