The graphs show the changes in the UK industry steel between 1970 and 2000. (million tonnes vs thousand)
The graph line gives data on how the total demand, the production, the imports, and the employment status of the
steel
industry in the UK changed over a thirty-year period.
Overall
, the four fields experienced different trends during the time period. While
the number of workers, the demand, and the production of steel
decreased with some fluctuations, the imports rose over time.
As the graph shows, the UK's steel
demand figure started at 200 thousand
tons
in 1970, followed by a gradual decline to exactly 100 thousand
tons
in 2000. Regarding production, in 1970, 170 thousand
tons
of steel
were manufactured. This
figure went down to just under 100 thousand
tons
in 2000. In terms of the quantity of people employed, it started at 50 thousand
in 1970. Then
, this
trend dropped dramatically to just above 20 thousand
in 1990 before witnessing a steady fall to about 18 thousand
in 2000, respectively. By contrast
, the steel
imports experienced a substantial growth from approximately 10 thousand
to 75 thousand
between 1970 and 2000.Submitted by makemoneyizzy16 on
