一份新報告為洛杉磯促進就業增長提出了建議,但是忽略了作為該地區經濟支柱之一的娛樂業的損失 。據丹尼爾·卡森報道,電影擁護者對所提出的建議中并未討論扭轉電影業頹勢的方法感到失望 。
The Los Angeles 2020 commission report lays out 13 _3_ to boost job growth, but none of them address the trouble in the film and TV industries. Even though they rank among the region's largest private employers, thousands of entertainment jobs are lost every year to states with more generous tax incentives. Industry advocate Paul Audley says there is a sure-fire way to bring those jobs back home to Hollywood. This industry will overturn immediately if the state becomes competitive and that means tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars expenditure. The California legislature _4_ a bill to fatten up the state's tax credit part from the current 100 million dollars to 400 million so it can compete with rivals like New York and Louisiana.

洛杉磯2020委員會報告為增加就業提出了13項建議,但是其中沒有一條為影視業的問題提出解決方法 。而影視業涉及到洛杉磯地區最大的私人雇主,這個地區每年會損失掉數千名娛樂人才,因為這些人才會前往擁有稅收政策更優厚的州去 。行業倡導者保羅·奧德利表示,有一個一定能將這些流失掉的人才帶回好萊塢的方法 。如果加州變得更具競爭性,那這個行業會立刻顛覆,這意味著數萬個就業崗位和數十億美元的開支 。加州議會正在考慮一份增加加州稅額減免的法案,數額將由現在的1億美元增加至4億美元,這樣加州就可以和紐約以及路易安那州那樣的對手進行競爭了 。NPR新聞,丹尼爾·卡森洛杉磯報道 。
