Ed Morrison · Moving To Pittsburgh

October 3rd, 2010

Jim Russell has an interesting post about people moving to Pittsburgh.

At a minimum, people aren’t bolting for somewhere else looking for work. I think it indicates the region is transforming into migration magnet.

Something has changed and in a good way. For decades, the default story has been outmigration and shrinking population. For those who put so much stock in the “people vote with their feet” thesis, a growing Pittsburgh will come as quite a shock. That crowd should note that among those with at least a four-year degree, the Steel City has an established appeal. The cranks and cynics chose to overlook that fact.
