Employment in Pittsburgh Region, 1970-2010
• Persistence of population loss prevalent over decades.
Did not rebound after 1980s and 1990s, with slow job growth, negative net migration, and “natural decrease”
Duality in shifts in trends:– Most shrinking cities experiencing downtown revivals defined by baby boom retirees and “millennial” new residents.– But continued decline with protracted poverty, abandonment, and vacancy in non-core neighborhoods and communities.
