Pittsburgh’s Economic History Forged in the Steel Mill from the Pitt News [of the University of Pittsburgh]
"For many years, people associated the city of Pittsburgh with the steel industry and entrepreneurs such as Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick. But recently, the economy in Pittsburgh has become more modernized, and experts say it has allowed the economy to thrive in the 21st century. Anne Madarasz, museum division director at the Heinz History Center in the Strip District, said that during the 1930s and 1940s, regional leaders accounted for the eventual decline of the steel industry by working with local business owners to address structural economy issues."
