Actor Max von Sydow once said, "All my life I've been looking for diversity." Well he should have come to Omaha. Omaha's workers come from the metro area, the East and West Coasts. They come from India, Mexico, Africa, Europe, Russia, China and Southeast Asia. Over 22 percent of the population in Omaha is of a different race.
What is driving these people to come to Omaha? They are coming from around the world to study business at Bellevue University, Creighton University, and the University of Nebraska at Omaha. They come to study medicine or conduct research at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and Creighton University Medical Center.
They are attracted by the high-tech positions at First Data, First National Bank of Omaha, West Corporation or the Scott Technology Transfer and Incubator Center. Google is even building a $600 million data center in the Omaha Metro area.
Forbes magazine ranked Omaha eighth among their "Best Cities for jobs 2008," the nineth best city for nurturing information technology businesses and one of the top 15 metro areas in the nation. Expansion Management ranked Omaha one of the America's "50 Hottest Cities" for business expansion and the "22nd Best Place to Live and Launch a Business." Newsweek named the city one of 10 "High-Tech Haven." Entrepreneur magazine put Omaha among the top 20 best cities for small business.
No matter the reason they come to Omaha, they stay because of the opportunities.
