If they go anywhere in the rust belt, it will be Pittsburgh.
But I’d be surprised if it was either.[/quote]
I agree about the low likelihood but not about the lack of tech types. Lots of engineers (and their kids) are still there. The University of Michigan can supply a few I’m sure …
Quote from Forbes “Reinventing America
The Cities Creating The Most Tech Jobs 2017”
Easily the biggest surprise on the list is Detroit, which improved its position to ninth, a remarkable 30-place jump from the last edition of this list in 2015. It generated 26% growth in high-tech jobs and boosted its STEM employment by 8.4%. Despite the decline of the central city, the Detroit metro area has never faded as a technical center; due largely to the auto industry its per capita STEM employment has long been above the national average. This is reflected in a post-recession boom in engineering services in the region – some 14,000 new jobs since 2006 – leaving Detroit with a concentration of engineering services more than three times the national average. Its percentage of STEM workers is 50% above the U.S. norm, roughly equivalent to that of Raleigh-Durham, Boston and Denver.
