This is one of the things Mittal did in Cleveland..........built a new mill and modernized the old ones so less employees make much more steel. Still they employ a lot of people.

mill in Baltimore. Very recent. Curious thing is the decline in 
employment from 30,000 to 2400 people while output (tonnage) from the 
mill has remained just about constant. Derrick Brashear dragged me 
on a tour at the industrial museum of Baltimore where this mill was 
featured a year ago ... most interesting.
