Iowa City's economy is as diverse as it is prosperous. The economy is based upon thriving commerce, a major university, and a number of national and international businesses, including several Fortune 500 companies. Iowa City is home to the corporate headquarters for ACT, Moore North America, Pearson, Lear, Oral B Laboratories/Gillette, Procter & Gamble, and scores of smaller industries and businesses.
Whether it's by bike, bus, car or foot, it's easy to get around Iowa City.
Without question, Iowa City's greatest asset is its people: well-educated and highly productive workers who demonstrate low absenteeism and turnover rates. The city's university student population augments the labor force and provides a large pool of part-time workers for area businesses. In addition, the University continuously injects qualified professional and technical expertise into the labor market.
