Starting a New Business at Irvine CA ~ Agencies to Contact

 

Irvine city Mayor Kang bragged several months ago that Irvine CA has more than 190,000 jobs. (He didn't say how many of those jobs were at public agency, city, county, state or federal, jobs and how many were in private industry). 

If Mayor Kang is correct about number of jobs at Irvine (190,000), that would make Irvine CA the city with more jobs ~ in comparison with number of residents (about 215,000) ~ than any other city of its size in the state. 

Solid businesses are needed to support jobs at private industry, and the city of Irvine's s web site has good information and recommendation about starting a new business.
