And it's not just about professional opportunity- Pittsburgh is affordable , too. Salaries are competitive, and with a cost of living that's 11% lower than the national average , your paycheck goes further.


Love good food? You're in the right place. Pittsburgh's culinary scene is a local obsession and a national standout. As VisitPittsburgh.com puts it:


"The city's award-winning chefs, new restaurant concepts and suppliers have moved the restaurant scene forward with fresh ingredients from locally grown, locally raised goods. In Pittsburgh, farm-to-table is not just a saying, it's a way of life."
