Review of Altoona, Pennsylvania

21.84% job growth !?
Star Rating - 11/22/2008
Hi all... i've read the charts and graphs available from RECON and i just can't seem to figure where this kind of job growth over the next 10 years is coming from(?)

Any thoughts from the community on what sector might be creating these gains ? (other than new big box retailers ?)
