The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center is the largest employer in the region, with the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University anchoring the educational sector.

Where is Pittsburgh?
Pittsburgh sits at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, which join to form the Ohio at the Point at the western edge of downtown. The metropolitan area holds around 2.4 million residents across south-western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio. The geography is dramatic: the city occupies the steep hillsides of the river valleys, with Mount Washington rising over 100 metres above the Point on the southern bank. The 446 bridges across the three rivers make Pittsburgh one of the most bridge-dense cities in the world, supporting the city's distinctive cross-river commuting patterns.
