& Demographics

Young, educated, and growing
< Back to Doing Business
according to the u.s. census Bureau, Pitt County’s population passed 180,000 in 2024. This growing population has a labor force of nearly 93,000 employees.

Greenville’s talent pool brings companies’ ideas, products, and services to market with skill and efficiency. The region’s median age of 33.1 – six years younger than both the national and North Carolina state averages – and the educational opportunities available at East Carolina University and Pitt Community College allow companies to tap into a nimble workforce trained in the latest in-demand skills.

"PCC and ECU have provided continual support with the education of our employees, and the Pitt County folks, with their high work ethic, have helped us grow throughout the years. Greenville is truly a great city to work and live."
Brian r. Baymiller, vice president
Fuji Silysia Chemical USA, Ltd.
