The economic outlook for 2021 is very complicated as the regional and national economies rebound from the battle against COVID. It is truly a tale of two economies, with some industries having the greatest years ever and others experiencing the worst. A few examples are; technology companies v. hospitality, wall street v. main street, industrial real estate v. retail real estate, as well as impact of shutdowns between just LA and OC. The political environment is having a greater and greater impact on the economy and 2021 will be no different on a national and local level. The largest government stimulus packages in history have been injected into the economy and policy has been determining winners and losers. The size and number of businesses leaving the state of California grew significantly this year and will have many ripple effects on our state’s economy.
