Forged from the depths of 2020’s plagues and angst, Local Labor set out to bridge customer’s emergencies with dependable service providers for Southern California. We overcame trials and setbacks to launch in March 2021. We start out with just a few thousand businesses, but are on track to add exponentially in number, location and types of services offered!
