How did steel change the lives of many americans

American steel production peaked in 1969, when 141 million tons were produced, but the trend of lower labor costs overseas and inexpensive transportation options to bring the steel back to America has pushed production outside of the U. S. However, the need for steel today is higher than it has ever been.

Today, steel is a regular part of many different industries, including:

Transportation

Agriculture

Healthcare

Food Service

Energy

Construction

Packaging

Automotive

Consumer goods

Technology

Its strength and durability, along with its relatively inexpensive price, are the most common reasons that people choose steel over other metal options.
