U.S. economy's downturn has minimal impact on local firms
With the U.S. economy slowing, more consumers are cooking at home to save money. And that's a good thing for Pittsburgh food giant H.J. Heinz Co., which does more business through grocery stores than restaurants. Heinz's overall results held up in its most recent quarter, even though food service operating income dipped. "Heinz is having a record year, so we are not seeing a significant impact as a result of any economic slowdown," said Michael Mullen, director of global corporate affairs. Despite all the talk of an impending U.S. recession, some of the biggest employers and companies in southwestern Pennsylvania are reporting no major fallout yet from the recent downturn, nor do they expect to freeze new hiring or capital expenditures. Many are citing a surge in demand from outside the United States as a reason for optimism.
