Dubbed "Music City USA," Nashville offers an abundance of creative energy and talent, as well as an openness to artistic ideas. People here can be found at one of the many art galleries during the day and two-stepping to country music in the evening. Beyond the arts, Nashville offers diverse industries, a low cost of living, and economic stability.

There isn't just one top industry in Nashville - there are several. It is a leader in printing and publishing: a major source of publishing in the music industry and a hub for southeastern U.S. magazines and newspapers. Other dominant industries include finance and insurance, healthcare management, and automobile and related-sector manufacturing. Hospitality is also a highly regarded industry here. With more than 53,000 people in Davidson County employed in the hospitality industry, and with annual revenues in excess of $2.5 billion, the hospitality industry plays a key role in the city's healthy economy.

Nashville is not only the state capital, but also the country music capital of the world. The entertainment industry is huge here, with dozens of record labels. The music industry's success has helped bring other businesses to the area, such as satellite companies, catering, photography, public relations, accounting and graphic arts.

Logistically speaking, Nashville is the ideal location for the transportation industry, with more than 150 major trucking companies and freight handlers in the area. It is located within 65 miles of half the U.S. population. Three major interstate highways - I-40, I-65 and I-24 - run through Nashville and are direct links to major cities throughout the country.

Education is a serious subject here. According to a study conducted by the Center for Regional Economic Issues at Case Western University, Nashville is one of the 10 most educated metropolitan areas in the United States. More than 85,000 students are enrolled in the 18 colleges, universities, technical schools and other postsecondary programs in Middle Tennessee.

The benefits of moving to Nashville are tremendous: low unemployment, a great cost of living, top educational institutions, and tons of employment opportunities.
