RE: Today, by the way, there is a casino where those steel mills used to stand and the United Steel Workers are long gone.
Pittsburgh looks like a big city that has re-invented itself from a Steel Dependent city to a city with varied industries — including biotech, robotics and even banking.
Dare I say that Pittsburgh stil thrives ?
We can learn a lot from Pittsburgh, which is this — if you want your city to thrive, you CANNOT depend on one industry. You must learn to DIVERSIFY and be FLEXIBLE.
I agree. Pittsburgh did not wait long for steel jobs to come back and then die. They decided they needed to expand. Medical research, tech, etc. I just can’t explain how they did that with Democrats and unions. It’s mind boggling. Well, they did have John Heinz for a while. Back when Theresa was Republican.
