South Bay WIB Rapid Response Case Study
In October 2024, Phillips 66, a Texas-based company, announced plans to close its two Los Angeles campuses, scheduled for December 2025. This large-scale layoff is expected to affect approximately 600 union and non-union employees and 300 contractors. Since the two campuses span two workforce regions. The response effort required a collaboration with the South Bay Workforce Investment Board and the City of Los Angeles Workforce Development Board.
This case study explores how EconoVue supported South Bay WIB in developing a comprehensive rapid-response program for Phillips 66.

EconoVue™ is your window to business and workforce insight.
Founded in Silicon Valley in 1999, and now based in Arlington, VA, EconoVue, Inc. is a woman-owned small business with a single mission: to help our clients visualize data and gain actionable insight into the past, present and future of their local and regional economies and workforce.
Originally founded as The Urban Explorer, Inc, a boutique consulting firm designing interactive GIS tools for economic development, land use planning and urban design, we heard a common theme from our customers: “Help us analyze today and help us predict tomorrow.” We found ourselves replicating the same steps of geospatial economic analysis studies, so rather than reinvent the wheel every time, we decided to invent it just once and automate the process via a single platform, and EconoVue™ was born.
The millions of businesses that comprise the U.S. economy and workforce are constantly in motion. Our agile approach to solution design is highly collaborative with the “end-user”, constantly evolving to meet the growing needs and creativity of our clients as they try to extract insight from data chaos.
Working with our data partners, public sources and our great collaborative clients, we continue to expand EconoVue™ to meet new needs, including Economic Development, Transportation and Custom Analysis. Our design philosophy is to produce innovative, actionable data insight tools, in a modular application platform that is iterative and easily adaptive to meet the ever-changing information needs of our clients.
