2013 MARKET OVERVIEW and Investor Service Directory
A MESSAGE FROM
KERN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
CORPORATION
If you are searching for a location to start, relocate or expand a
business, you’re in the right place. While it was oil and agriculture
that laid the foundation for Kern County’s economy, a variety of other
industries are flourishing today as well. They’re contributing to the
welcoming and rewarding business climate which companies like
Caterpillar Inc., Paramount Citrus, and Terra-Gen Power are already
proud to call home.

Service Directory
Business owners consistently choose Kern County thanks to its enthusiastic and affordable work
force, favorable tax climate, strategic central location, and stunningly-short permit process.
Residents continue to enjoy the area for a variety of reasons including its proximity to California’s
most prized natural wonders (the Sequoias, the Sierra Nevada mountains, and the central/
southern coastlines), and easy access to metropolitan centers like Los Angeles and San Francisco.
All seem to appreciate Kern County’s cost of living, high quality of life, and the fact that it is one
of the most affordable home markets in the state (with a median home price of $138,500).
Looking for more evidence of Kern’s draw? Here are just a few of the accolades and some media
coverage we received last year:
#1 large metro for annual economic
growth rate in the nation
IHS Global Insights 2012
#2 metro for job growth

This Market Overview and Investor Service Directory’s purpose is twofold. First, it is designed to give
you a glimpse of Kern County’s business climate and quality of life, which are important to consider
while making your business development decisions. Second, it provides you the contact information
you need to reach out and create strong relationships with our business partners, all of whom recognize
that a strong economic development effort is integral to a county’s continued vitality.
The Kern Economic Development Corporation
(Kern EDC) is a public private partnership
formed in 1988 with the mission of
stimulating a diversified and strong economic
climate in Kern County. This is accomplished
through new business recruitment and
assistance with retention and expansion of
existing businesses.
1
In 2007, Kern Economic Development
Foundation (KEDF) was created to support
Kern County businesses and communities in
reaching their full economic potential. KEDF is
a research and education-based organization
which, among other projects, supports career
mentoring initiatives in local high schools and
economic growth in small communities.
Business Overview
Kern County’s Industry Clusters
Our economic performance is driven by our “portfolio” of industry clusters. Clusters are groups of
related businesses who export products and services from the county, bringing in new dollars. Clusters
grow and change over time and competitive clusters generate high value jobs whose multipliers
(salaries and expenditures within the county) create other jobs. A healthy economy has a diverse
portfolio of competitive and newly emerging clusters. These are what our county “does for a living”
Kern County’s Economic Development Strategy outlines six industry clusters of focus. The Kern
County Board of Trade develops and markets the large Tourism and Entertainment cluster, while Kern
Economic Development Corporation recruits and works to retain businesses in the other five:
Aerospace and Defense
While over 1,400 people are engaged in the private sector of the aerospace industry, the total
employment picture reaches nearly 20,000 when contractors and public sector defense jobs
are included. Kern County’s strongest aspect of the cluster is in aircraft manufacturing, which
has seen much growth since 2000. The growth is promising considering the extremely high
wages earned by employees in the industry. The aerospace and defense cluster is focused in
East Kern, where both China Lake Naval Weapons Air Station and Edwards Air Force Base are
located.
Energy and Natural Resources
Kern County’s natural resources create a marketable energy industry. The county is abundant
with both traditional energy (petroleum) and renewables such as large and small solar projects,
and an expanding wind power market. Additionally Kern County is home to geothermal and
biomass facilities. The industry employs over 10,000 people.
Healthcare Services
This cluster provides over 24,000 jobs primarily in services, hospitals, and nursing care facilities
in Kern County. Physicians’ offices, mental health practitioners, medical and diagnostic labs,
and homes for the elderly are where Kern County shines. With the development of this cluster,
medical device and equipment manufacturing should become just as successful. Wages in this
industry are typically higher, adding to Kern County’s promise in this area.
Transportation, Logistics and Advanced
Manufacturing
This industry has been a boon to Kern County with over 49,000 people employed locally. The
available and skilled workers offer a strong labor force to employers, while the central location
allows access to thirty-six million people within four hours. The industry is strongly united with
oil and agriculture, which continue to be Kern’s strongest assets. As long as oil and agriculture
succeed, this cluster will follow.
Value Added Agriculture
Kern County plays a major role in providing the state’s and nation’s food supply. Numerous
exports (almonds, grapes, cotton, carrots, milk, pistachios, potatoes) rank at the top of
California and the U.S. and that prominence makes Kern a natural area for value-added
agriculture businesses to locate. Existing product can be processed and packaged locally,
adding value to that product. Over 50,000 employees comprise this industry.
