The Walt Disney Company

Second-largest employer on the July 2025 city table, at 6,284 jobs, 3.8 percent of that table denominator. Headquarters address published by the Los Angeles Business Journal: 500 South Buena Vista Street. The same newspaper counted 10,900 valley-area employees in September 2025, which is a wider geography than the city table. Remittances are not published. The studio and headquarters campus is the other primary private anchor in the media district, labeled as an inference. ABC Inc. appeared as its own line on older city tables, including 1,160 employees in the June 30, 2021 ACFR, and is not a separate line on the July 2025 table.
