Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services boosted Los Angeles County’s bond rating Tuesday from A to A+, and issued it an AA- credit rating.
The credit rating agency attributed the improvement to conservative budgeting and strong economic performance.
The county’s economic growth is tempered by looming healthcare shortfalls and massive healthcare obligations for retired employees, the agency said in a statement.
