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.
