Pittsburgh is the place where three rivers meet at one point in an area known as the Golden Triangle that surrounds the city’s skyline. The rivers are the Ohio that flows to the Midwest, the Allegheny, that flows north to the great lakes, and the Mongohelia, that flows south into West Virginia.

The city is most famous for its NFL football team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have won six Super Bowl titles. It has the Pittsburgh Pirates in Major League Baseball and the Pittsburgh Penguins in the National Hockey League. Each team plays in either of the two new stadiums or the hometown arena. The Pittsburgh area is ranked as one of the best metro areas in the country to live, with plenty of economic, social, sports and entertainment venues.

The city has an academic reputation since it is home to the University of Pittsburgh, Duquesne University, Carnegie Mellon University, and Robert Morris University. The area is served by the Pittsburgh International Airport, and has Amtrak train service. Major highways that run through the area include the Pennsylvania Turnpike (Interstate 76), Interstate 70, and Interstate 79.

The outer Pittsburgh region in western Pennsylvania is also home to coal mines and the coal industry is still prevalent. It is still a steel town since the world headquarters of U.S. Steel is located in the downtown. In both the coal and steel industries come workplace hazards. It is easy to get hurt on the job, which can result in lost time at work and result in missed paychecks.
