Santa Clarita is a big business oriented city with a variety of manufacturing plants and industrial parks located on the northern part of the city. I think the valley is booming to its capacity very quickly with the non-existent space they are trying to build on.
Here is some information from the California Employment Department that portrays the biggest companies in the valley.
Santa Clarita maintains one of the lowest unemployment rates in Los Angeles County. The City’s unemployment rate was 4.9% in August 2008 compared to 8.2% for Los Angeles County and 7.6% for the State of California.
