5) Malibu Manufacturing Core

Due to its beautiful, yet complex location and terrain, there is no real manufacturing of goods in Malibu.  The Manufacturing core in this sense merely means how money is brought into the city.  Retail, food services, and real estate are three main pillars in Malibu's economy.  The small city is speckled with numerous high end stores and exclusive restaurants and has some some of the best homes in the world to offer to prospective residents.  Below, the Malibu Country mart is home to many high end stores and restaurants:



Although it is not a retail outlet, restaurant, or dealer of real estate, HRL Laboratories is the largest employer in Malibu.  At HRL, high tech developments such as microelectronics, high power lasers, integrated circuits, and smart materials are pioneered.  I bet that very few people would ever guess that something like a high power laser would be developed in such a seemingly laid back city such as Malibu.
