Jobs at the Port of Los Angeles are down by half, executive director says

Job opportunities at the Port of Los Angeles are dwindling as President Trump's steep tariffs take a hit on global trade.

Nearly half of the longshoremen who support operations at the port went without work over the last two weeks, Gene Seroka, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, said in an interview.

The port processed 25% less cargo than forecast for the month of May, he said.
