One of the most notable places in Colorado Springs is the United States Olympic Training Center, including the headquarters of the United States Olympic Committee.¹  The economy in the city is primarily driven by the military, high-tech, and tourism.  Fortunately, the city is not completely reliant upon the military for its economic stability due to growth, mostly in the service industry, such as call centers in insurance, support, and financial industries.  This may be largely due to the fact that there are quality college educated workers who want to stay in the city, but not necessarily work in the defense sector.  However, finding work outside of the defense sector remains a little difficult.  This is because there are several large employers in the defense industry located in the city, such as Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Harris Corporation, L-3 Communication, ITT, and Lockheed Martin. However, there have been quite a few high-tech industry organizations set up shop here.  These companies include Hewlett Packard, for example. Additionally, the variance of health facilities is equally as plentiful. The diverse workforce in the city will continue to create growth in the city.
