The thread was meant to be a thread of positive news about companies adding jobs. Please don't make it political or a thread about air pollution.

Would be nice to continue the job growth reports. Thanks. That means 50 more people will have a job. Great!

That’s awesome. I’d love to see McKeesport make a comeback. I love seeing jobs scattered throughout the Pittsburgh metro and especially places that have been down on their luck.

The folks who complain about the cracker plant (like Peduto) or about industry in general don't seem to realize that pollution limits are already enforced and that the environment is already monitored.
Has Peduto met with ACHD or with PaDEP? Or is he just running his mouth on Twitter about the cracker plant?
There are a ton of non-coding jobs in the knowledge economy. The majority of jobs in the big tech companies are non-coding.

Makes sense given CMU’s work in this. It seems like a lot of the tech companies keep on posting new jobs. It’s kind of wild that some of them are still going to the extent of headhunting people for jobs in Pittsburgh given how pear-shaped things are.
