A city on three rivers, Pittsburgh is poised for revival. The region's home prices rose in 2008, unemployment is below the national average and the Pittsburgh Steelers won the Super Bowl. The region is resilient, having learned decades ago how to tough out economic problems when its leading economic engine, the steel industry, collapsed. Steel companies are still planning billions of dollars of investment in southwestern Pennsylvania, but the biggest economic fields are now healthcare, education and banking. A bevy of small tech start-ups are a new source of pride and hope for a region eager to grow.
