So I've read this rumor elsewhere that there are plans to eventually add something to the top of this. Is there anything to back this up? I would love for it to be true.

Given the diversity, both thematically and geographically, of firms moving to the city lately, it certainly seems like we're seeing a stable trend—both of the Philadelphia area maintaining and growing its stature as a good region for business and the city being the best place to locate within the region.

It seems like every week we hear about another firm opening offices or relocating to the city. Many are small moves, but they add up. This has resulted in some very real and measurable growth.
According to The Bureau of Labor Statistics, job growth numbers for the city have been very steady since 2009. In spite of all the doom and gloom in Philly.com comments, we've actually seen solid job growth since the end of the recession in the city proper. Growth is happening across multiple job sectors. The only sectors that don't appear to be seeing an increase are manufacturing, information, and government services.
