I can't speak to the economic situation in the UK, as I've never lived there. However, from my visits, I suspect the UK is far more pro-active when it comes to government regulation of health care, low-income housing, education, and such. Although, obviously that safety net means higher taxes for some workers.
In America, you're pretty much on your own. Don't have health insurance? Tough. Can't afford to rent an apartment? Live in your car. Not well educated? Well, it's clearly your own damn fault.
As far as our economy is concerned...for the most part, Southern California was spared Northern California's post dot-com and 9-11 recession. This is because Southern California's industries are not especially tied to the technology and banking sectors that traditionally dominate the North's economy.
However, it's not all good news. Wages in Southern California are low. Furthermore, the cost of living has increased significantly in the last decade. So, while finding a job in Los Angeles isn't difficult, you might only barely get by.

It really depends which industry you want a career in. If you're just after a job that pays the bills, I don't think it makes a difference because there are pleny of those in either country.
