Yes, it's great that Google has a large office here in Pittsburgh, and yes it's also great that huge tech companies like Apple and Uber are developing a presence here. But an office is not a headquarters where the senior executives work, and recent income data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics clearly illustrates that huge distinction.
In fact, not only are average hourly earnings more than ten dollars lower here than in San Francisco, Pittsburgh hourly earnings have actually begun to recently trend lower over the past year.
Only ignorance and greed can account for the local, insane building boom that will surely end up going bust when the next recession begins...
