Unfortunately, Steel is no longer the well attractive manufacturing occupation to workers as it was in the past, it used to be related with the picture of immense work force, as all this has vanished long ago. The modern steel employees are so few and are rarely found. For example there are only 10,000 employees In South Korea to make over 27 million tons of it. Virtually, we can set the appropriate employment demand at 1,000 for a million tons. This number can be reduced. According to many statistics; one employee per year of steel manufacturing trends equals in potential 3.5 employees per year of any employment field anywhere else, and that's why the employing process is very sophisticated.
