Company Description:
The City of San Diego, known as America’s Finest City, is best known for its ideal climate, beautiful beaches, and world-class attractions. As the eighth largest city in the United States and the second largest in California, the City of San Diego has 1.4 million residents comprised of an ethnically and culturally diverse population. San Diego covers 326 square miles of land area and an additional 46 square miles of water area for an aggregate total of 372 square miles. Due to the city's unique topography, which includes numerous beaches, mesas, mountains, and canyons, the climate can vary significantly over short geographical distances, resulting in microclimates throughout the region. San Diego spans over 70 miles of pristine Pacific Ocean coastline offering a wide variety of beaches and amenities. With its great weather, and miles of sandy beaches, San Diego is known worldwide as one of the best tourist destinations and is a great place for residents to relax year-round.

Influenced by its close proximity to an international border and the Pacific Rim, more than 40.0 percent of the City’s population speaks a language other than English at home, and more than 25.0 percent are considered a foreign-born person. Immigration from various parts of the world has been and continues to be a major contributor to San Diego’s ethnic and cultural diversity. Having the privilege of being a multicultural melting pot positions the City’s labor force for success in the global economy.
