Kids These Days: The Millennial Generation in Pittsburgh

Kids These Days: The Millennial Generation in Pittsburgh



Thirty years ago, the Pittsburgh region was losing more of its population than it was attracting each year, with young adults accounting for most of the exodus.

Today the region’s population of 20-to-30-somethings, known as Millennials or Gen Y, is on the rise. Millennials increasingly choose to stay or move to Pittsburgh from other towns.  Like each generation before them, they bring a unique blend of attitudes and characteristics that reflect their experiences and they’re reshaping Pittsburgh in some interesting ways.

This web series reflects the views of Pittsburgh’s next generation, what they have to say about themselves, their community, and where they live and work.
