120 workers at most. That doesn't begin to compare to how many jobs have been chased away by this situation. I know of two people myself that declined local high tech jobs because of our air pollution. Both after having been here for grad school. So they weren't ignorant.

Where are you getting that number? They claim 1400 full time people last year.

That document is hilarious. I read the whole thing, and the takeaway is that "due to their relentless pursuit of environmental excellence" they are a model of green industry.
I think their employment numbers are in line with the rest of their duplicitous propaganda there. They don't break out the coke battery workers and the "ancillary workforce", so if it isn't an outright lie, they are rolling in a bunch of unrelated workers for the steel plant.

I’m glad to see you think 120 jobs don’t matter, I’m sure they do to the people who hold them. I’m sure someone else took those tech jobs so the people you know leaving really doesn’t matter in the end

You'd have 120 jobs doing active damage to our real economic base (Eds and Meds) . Our region would be better if they didn't exist.
Do you defend Fentanyl dealers? There are probably at least 100 of them in the region. Wouldn't want them to be out of work either.

Wow, must make you feel nice to dehumanize entire groups of people because you think you are better than them.

120 jobs is worth nothing compared to health of the people who live or work in the area
