SOURCE: The Trade Partnership, derived from data provided by the U.S. Department
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1999 (most recent year available).
Employment considered steel-consuming includes workers in the following
sectors: fabricated metal products (SIC 34); industrial machinery and
equipment (SIC 35); electric distribution equipment (SIC 361); electrical
industrial apparatus (SIC 362); household appliances (SIC 363); electric
lighting and wiring equipment (SIC 364); transportation equipment (SIC
37); chemicals and related products (SIC 28); tires (SIC 301); petroleum
refining (SIC 291), and nonresidential construction (SIC 15 -17 minus
SIC 152).
These figures are conservative because data is not available for workers
of transportation services, such as railroads and ports.
