==Economy== [[File:La Quinta Country Club.jpg|thumb|La Quinta Country Club]] ===Service industries=== La Quinta is the site of the first [[Wal-Mart]] Supercenter in California. Many residents work for the tourist industries in hotels, resorts, golf courses, and nearby casinos. Service industry jobs relate to the construction, hotel, landscaping, and retail industries. La Quinta has sought to attract professional businesses, and has benefited from neighboring cities' growth.<ref>Desjardins, Doug.
