We've heard many times about how the Pittsburgh housing market has been immune to the crisis that grips the rest of the nation. But what I think has been very under reported- especially by the Post-Gazette- is that the region's economy as a whole and the jobs outlook is much more positive than most people think and is doing much better than most regions in the country right now. While the rest of the nation comes to the realization of job losses and high unemployment, here are some of the business stories reported in Pittsburgh over the last few weeks. And again- mad props to the Trib for being the leader in reporting on this.
