Los Angeles’ Fashion District, also known as the jobber market, employs about 25,000 Koreans who make up about 13.2 percent of the total fashion-related workforce in California, the Korean Apparel Manufacturers Association said Monday.
According to the association, Koreans own and operate about 1,900 clothing businesses in the Fashion District.
