The North American Manufacturing Core

Manufacturing plays a major role in the local economy of Camarillo. In fact Manufacturing jobs are the highest employers of men in Camarillo employing roughly 16% of the population and for women they employ about 7%. These manufacturing jobs are plentiful in Camarillo because it is a small town that is ideal for good working environments. The manufacturing jobs include everything from machine work to graphic designers to bio-technologies.

 There are a few mining companies that are based in Camarillo but they mostly mine rocks and minerals from the local hills and mountains. There is oil in Ventura County but it is mostly in the northern part of the county.  One major part of Camarillo is the railroad system that carries many manufactured items that are made in Camarillo along as other cities all over the region. Camarillo was partly founded because it was a railroad depot for the Southern Pacific Railroad. Since then it has been an important part of Camarillo's history. Camarillo is also near the Point Mugu Harbor which is a major entering point for all sorts of manufactured goods from clothes to cars.
