Some of the key findings are:
- Differences in economic performance among metropolitan areas remained stark.
- The South is overrepresented among both the 20 metro areas that suffered the most in the recession and the 20 that suffered least. - Only a handful of metropolitan areas showed early signs of full recovery from the recession.
- Several metro areas showed signs of beginning to recover from the recession, and the rate of economic decline slowed in many more.
- Centers of auto and auto parts production continued to post sharp overall employment and output declines. - Metro areas that specialize in banking had less severe job losses than the nation as a whole since the end of 2007.
- Signs that the housing market is stabilizing were apparent in many metro areas, though rising foreclosures continued to weaken some metropolitan markets. - Pittsburgh, the site of the G-20 meetings on September 24 and 25, 2009, ranks among the U.S. metropolitan areas least affected by the recession.
