In terms of religious, racial, economic and cultural diversity, are the people of this city or town diverse? Are they accepting of differences? Describe.

As long as you are rich, you will be fine. As a black woman from the US, it's a shame to see so many badly behaved blacks AGAIN in a country. I work in IT, and I wish I could meet more professional people. Once you behave badly in the Swiss country, you are making a reputation for others who look like you. That is not necessarily racism as it is the 21st century mentality that people are responsible for their behavior.

What are the main industries in this city? What types of career opportunities commonly exist? How do most people find new jobs?

I work in IT, and I think that field is picking up again.

In general, what are peoples' priorities in this city? For example, do lives revolve around work, family, socializing, sports, etc.?

Life revolves around money and family. The more money you can get, the more closed your group becomes, until it becomes your family. Switzerland is not the place if you want a great American-style, social life. That said, the nature parks and mountains are way cool!!!
