"Why is this important for Pittsburgh I you have some plan to grow the region's population it has to come from 1) natural population gains (more births than deaths). which just isn't happening period. Thus population gains would have to come from either 2) international immigration. so see any recent headline to know how that is going or 3) domestic migration. This story is explaining there just aren't as many people moving between regions any more so the potential pool to attract this horde of domestic migrants is getting smaller and smaller. We would have to begin attracting record numbers"
