No Recession in Pittsburgh...

...as evidenced by these two articles. Again, the Pittsburgh economy and jobs outlook is better than the rest of the country.

First, a Trib article about the Pittsburgh region ADDING 5,000 jobs in October while the rest of the country faces hard times.

Then, a PG article talking about how Pittsburgh area manufacturers are holding up well in this economy compared to the rest of the country.

(Note: The same day this article was published, Sony announced they were closing their Westmoreland County plant. So, while most of the news is still good- no region can come out of this economy completely unscathed).
