Many Pittsburghers still refer to their city as being the back-bone of American economy because of the huge steel industry once in the area However, Pittsburgh families of the 1980's are seeing a sharp decline in America's backbone economy. The exact reason for the steel industry decline is disputable. Vet Pittsburgh still remains the nation's 3rd largest corporate headquarters city according to Fortune Magazine. The ailing steel industry is quickly being replaced by a more technical labor force. The area hospitals are developing ways to use modern technology in treating patients. Advancements in the area are happening so quickly that Pittsburgh hospitals are setting the pace for hospitals all over the world to follow. Grants and other agreements from major corporations with the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie-Mellon University add to the diversity in the changing Pittsburgh economy. Presently, the University of Pittsburgh is working with AT T to build the Campus of the Future. Many other computer applications and research projects are being im- plemented. But Pittsburgh economy is not built on extreme local industry alone The workforce is the mass result of a nine-county business region. Aside from the businesses that add to the Allegheney County economy, commuters traveling from Ohio and West Virginia add valuable characteristics to the workforce. A larger population travels through Pittsburgh, every day. The amount of passengers traveling through Greater Pittsburgh International Airport has doubled in recent years. Plans are being investigated in order to build a new terminal to house the growing Pittsburgh airline industry. The macro idea of our diverse city is easily transposed into a more basic idea when applied to the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Oakland. The ever-growing Oakland area is never identified as being an ethnic neighborhood or as a campus area; Oakland houses too many diverse businesses and people to identify in any specific way. The shops and eateries of Craig Street differ, yet serve the same crowd that shops on Forbes and Fifth Avenues. The unique artsy impression that Craig Street delivers differs completely from the more common Forbes Avenue shops. However, the artsy, or cultural presence is located all around Oakland. The Carnegie Museum, in the center of Oakland, houses one of the world's largest fossil collections. This year the prestigious Carnegie International exhibition in the Scaife Gallery attracted art lovers from all over the country. Oakland also houses the nation's eighth largest library program which is now directed by Robert Croneberger. The people of Oakland add to the diversity of the area. In an area the size of Oakland there is an unusually high concentration of different types of people High payed doctors and lawyers are forced to share streets with college students and low income workers. The corporation has lead many urban analysts to study Oakland's unique ecology. Heine Chapel stanch as j non-denominational house o! worship tor dll Pitt students. Second only to Venice.
