Burien’s Workforce is Skilled & Diverse

Burien enjoys a talented, young, multilingual workforce with expertise in health care, retail, restaurants, manufacturing, education, and aerospace. A minority-majority city, 33 percent of Burien citizens can speak a language other than English, and students in Burien’s Highline Public School district speak more than 100 languages at home. This creates expansive opportunities for businesses looking to serve a diverse customer base, and especially those doing business internationally.
