  • Demographics

  • Louisville, the nation's 29th largest city, is home to a dynamic, diversified economy, which outperformed the U.S. in job and income growth over the last decade.  The region draws workers from a 26-county bi-state area, providing an ample and reliable source of educated and skilled employees.  And the public and private sectors are collaborating to ensure that workforce quality continues to improve.

    The business community, local government and education providers are working toward a shared vision that focuses on people - tomorrow's workforce - as both the means to and ultimate beneficiaries of future economic growth.  Innovative inclusion initiatives, transformational education attainment programs and proactive talent attraction and retention measures are accelerating Louisville's progress in this area.
