Ka-Ching! Big Profits for Pittsburgh's Corporate Giants

In the past week, PNC, Mellon, Wesco and PPG have all posted substantial profits- to the tune of almost $1 billion combined. Say what you want about the rich getting richer and about heartless corporate monoliths. But the fact is when local companies are doing well, it does nothing but benefit all of us in the form of more and better jobs, and a more stable local economy, not to mention increased support for local non-profits and foundations.

• PNC posts $459M profit
• PPG records $194M profit
• Mellon announces $243M profit
• Wesco posts $48M profit
