A Global Workforce

The workforce of Greater Omaha is a model of diversity. You can easily find yourself working beside someone who grew up across the street or across the globe.

Omaha’s workers come from the metropolitan area, the East Coast, the West Coast and beyond. They come from India, Mexico, Africa, Europe, Russia, China and Southeast Asia.

They come from around the country and the world to study business at Creighton University and the University of Nebraska at Omaha, or computer science and engineering at The Peter Kiewit Institute. They come to study medicine or conduct research at the University of Nebraska Medical Center or Creighton University Medical Center.

They are attracted by the high-tech and challenging jobs at First Data Resources, ConAgra Foods, First National Bank of Omaha, or at the Scott Technology Transfer and Incubator Center, an innovative facility that houses some of the nation’s hottest new technology companies. Some come to start a business of their own.

They stay because of the opportunities here.

From the resources and advice provided by the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce, the Nebraska Business Development Center or the wealth of other government and civic organizations designed to promote business, the city and the region have partnered to make success possible for anyone.

Forbes magazine rates Omaha among the top 25 best cities for business and careers, the ninth best city for nurturing information technology businesses and one of the top 15 metropolitan areas in the nation. Expansion Management ranks Omaha one of America’s “50 Hottest Cities” for business expansion and the third “Best Place to Locate Your Company.” Newsweek named the city one of 10 “High-Tech Havens.” Entrepreneur magazine puts Omaha among the top 20 best cities for small business.

Businesses are growing here. So are the extraordinary opportunities.

And that’s good for everyone – no matter how far they’ve come to get here.
