Diversity Makes Our Talent Special

Aurora’s population is significantly more diverse than the Metro area and Colorado. Nearly two times more citizens were born outside the U.S. in Aurora (21%) versus the Denver Metro area (12%). Aurora’s diverse population means it is one of the most valuable talent pools in the nation. Being different and recognizing the value of those differences makes us stronger — nearly a third of our population is bilingual. While education and skill sets are important, diversity adds another layer to talent. A workforce with varied perspectives, languages, cultural insights, and experiences allows companies to foster innovation and creativity, connect with new markets, and create an environment of inclusion that supports top talent attraction and retention.

Top of Tech

Our Metro area now ranks among top tech hubs like the Bay Area, Seattle, and Washington, DC. The heavy focus on tech has further attracted younger and more educated talent, elevating Aurora’s workforce. Compared to coastal cities, our region can offer tech companies a unique advantage — the combination of top talent and a more affordable cost of doing business.
