Pittsburgh came in at number 8 on Forbes Magazine’s “Top Ten Best Cities for Working Mothers” list.

The Steel City has been getting kudos recently for its family-centered high quality of life. The same goes for its friendliness to working mothers, according to our findings. With a cost of living in the bottom of five of our surveyed cities, Pittsburgh is also managing to shed its Rust Belt reputation: It’s got the 10th-lowest unemployment rate and jobs that offer surprisingly good salaries. The private University of Pittsburgh and a gradually developing downtown give moms options for culture and entertainment.
