Forbes Magazine on Pittsburgh's Job Market

Last week, Forbes Magazine published its list of ‘Best Cities for Jobs in 2008’.

Taking into consideration cities' unemployment rank, median income rank, income growth rank, cost of living, and unemployment rank, Pittsburgh ranked a dismal 74th on the Forbes list.

That means that almost three quarters of cities in America are a better place than the Steel City to find a job.

Our city’s job growth rank is a particularly frightening 88. Out of the top 100 cities in America, almost 90 percent have better job growth than Pittsburgh.
