Wednesday on CNBC’s “Power Lunch,” the CEO of U.S. Steel Mario Longhi said after the election of Donald Trump, he has “felt an environment of positive optimism where forces are converging to provide for a better environment,” which he hopes means he can rehire up to 10,000 employees.
Longhi said, “I have not felt an environment of positive optimism where forces are converging to provide for a better environment in quite a while. And this is pretty widespread. Customer suppliers, you know, throughout the communities.”
He added, “I’m more than happy to bring back the employees that we were forced to lay off during the depression … It could be close to 10,000.”

LOL! And you want to lecture others about economics?
Try Google. Here's a few links to get you started (out of what must be hundreds)...
Stop Lying to the American Working Class: We Are Manufacturing MORE Than Before
Perspective: Why U.S. manufacturing is now bigger than ever before
Enjoy.
Sorry, lived it. People working for the mini mills made money hand over fist.
Gee, articles from Redstate, Bostonglobe and Forbes, maybe you can email these articles to all those in the UE line so they have something to read while they are waiting to fill out their UE forms.
If you read down further they also tell you about all the jobs that have been lost.
More winning!
Still not tired of winning.
You asked for them. Why don't you read them? You asked for a source that we manufacture more than ever before and I gave you three out of hundreds you can find yourself on Google.
If you read down further they also tell you about all the jobs that have been lost.
That doesn't refute the point that we are manufacturing more than ever before. That is what you wanted me to prove, right?
75% of US steel consumption is domestic steel. Mini mills (EAF) are highly efficient and I assume still are mostly non-union. We only import about 25% of our steel. Under the right economic environment we would probably be a steel exporter.
Make it stop. The man isn’t even president and I’m tired of all of this winning!!
“That doesn’t refute the point that we are manufacturing more than ever before.”
Read one of your links...they lump sectors like mining, drilling, fracking, into the mix... manufacturing in it’s pure sense is down!
Which means that with Trump opening up more energy options, shipbuilding (300 ship Navy), real factory floor manufacturing, infrastructure spending, etc... we are on for a serious labor bump!
let’s call it 28 years. I am.
OK. Your turn.
Prove it.
Amen!
logical fallacies abound here. You will be called names rather than have a discussion of ideas. It devolves in about 2 minutes.
interesting how 8 years of Obama less the 3 percent growth. and all of the money manipulators who churn stocks are happy. Trump is elected and the industrialists that actually do manufacturing are the ones happy and now willing to invest in manufacturing in the united states.... the last 24 years we have been fooling are selves as a nation that mac Donald’s hiring more workers is economic growth when the truth any of the services industry is economic masturbation. true economic growth is things like steel , textiles, because they create an economic engine that allows for the service industry.....
I think they changed the definition of a manufacturing job to include a lot of menial jobs, even in the food industry. That way they can cover up the loss of jobs.
“OK. Your turn....Prove it.”
It’s right in the article from your second link...maybe you were too quick to copy and didn’t read them. I’m proving it with your own material.
“true economic growth is things like steel , textiles, because they create an economic engine that allows for the service industry.....”
Well said!!
