Learn Why Pittsburgh is a Great Place to Live

The Pittsburgh Region is home to a diverse population with cultural and business connections around the world. More than 300 international firms from 26 different countries operate here, employing tens of thousands of people.

The Pittsburgh region has always been a destination for immigrants. In the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries, immigrants from Europe fueled the Industrial Age. Since the 1970s, the region has seen an influx of people from Russia and Eastern Europe, from East and South Asia and, more recently, from Central and South America.

There is a direct link between international diversity and the broader economic development agenda of the region. Growing our workforce to meet current and future needs requires a strategy that includes attracting, recruiting, and retaining international residents.

Visit the Region to get to know the diverse and interesting profile of its people.
