PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — An area labor and enterprise coalition experiences Allegheny County has misplaced 50,000 jobs within the final 5 years.
However as KDKA-TV cash editor Jon Delano experiences, not everybody thinks the scenario is as unhealthy because it sounds.

“Allegheny County has misplaced within the neighborhood of fifty,000 jobs over the previous 5 years,” mentioned Jeff Nobers, government director of Pittsburgh Works Collectively.
Nobers mentioned what’s most troubling is the comparability to different areas.
“If you have a look at Pennsylvania as a complete or the Philadelphia space or many different metro areas of the state, all of them had progress,” he mentioned. “That they had constructive numbers.”
Allegheny County not solely misplaced jobs however misplaced twice as many roles as Cuyahoga County, house to Cleveland, which was the worst-performing county in Ohio.
Delano: “Is it as bleak as that headline sounds?”
PNC Chief Economist Gus Faucher: “I do not suppose so. I believe we misplaced extra jobs throughout the pandemic. We gained again numerous these jobs, not all of these jobs, however different elements of the nation took comparable hits.”
Faucher mentioned this area was harm by covid. However the actual query is what we do to regain progress. He says we have to do extra to maintain native expertise in Pittsburgh.
“We have now huge sources in our native schools and universities,” Faucher mentioned. “They convey in folks from all around the nation and other people from all around the world. These are very expert and extremely sought-after younger folks, so the extra we will do to maintain these folks within the space, that can entice employers. And that, in flip, will entice extra folks.”
One other answer, says Faucher, is attracting extra authorized immigrants to this area as a result of a part of the inhabitants loss is the results of an older inhabitants passing away.
“Allegheny County, the truth is, is the biggest core county within the nation that now has extra deaths than births,” he mentioned.
Pittsburgh Works Collectively says its report is necessary as a result of voters this yr will choose a brand new county government who should be centered on job creation. The first is in simply six weeks.
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers will not be benching Russell Wilson against the Baltimore Ravens, but they could use Justin Fields more. Now fully recovered from an abdominal injury he suffered against the Philadelphia Eagles, head coach Mike Tomlin acknowledged that he is open to using Fields against the Ravens.
The ‘Justin Fields package’ has been talked about extensively this season, but circumstances have consistently pushed back the possibility of Fields getting more involved with a package weekly.
Now, Tomlin says that could certainly happen as Fields is healthy, and the team clearly needs a spark.
“I’m certainly open to utilizing Justin. He has an awesome skillset and we’ve done some of that in the past,” Tomlin said. “We’ve done that less in that last couple of weeks because he experienced an injury that slowed some of that. But in an effort to win this game, I am open to any combination or combinations of divisions of labor in an ability to do so.”
Fields missed two games with an abdominal injury. Before that, the Steelers had used Fields as a runner and, sometimes, a passer, which had mixed results throughout their package’s deployment.
While it seems that Fields will not start against the Ravens, he could see some time where he could make an impact, whether on the ground or through the air.
