Data studies on warehousing and ecommerce fulfillment in Southern California, built from public sources, with every figure sourced and dated.
Brands deciding where to store and ship their inventory ask the same questions: how big is the local warehouse workforce, what does it cost, and how fast is it changing? Public data answers many of these questions, but it is spread across agencies and often quoted without a date.
Each study here pulls the official figures together, explains what they count and what they leave out, and links every number to its source and period.
Each study links its sources and offers its data as a free CSV.
Orange County warehouse jobs rose 33.8% from 2019 to 2025, to 7,271, while total private jobs in the county rose 0.2%.
