The United States is a major importer of iron and steel, and iron and steel products. Employment as of 2014 was 149,000 people employed in iron and steel mills, and 69,000 in foundries.
The region, often known as the Pittsburg-Youngstown region, includes several districts. The Pittsburgh district consists of industries located in the valleys of the Ohio, Monongahela, and Allegheny, within 60 km of Pittsburgh.
The Youngstown or the ‘valley’ districts consist of industries in the valleys of the Shenango and the Mahoning rivers.
Wheeling, Johnstown, Stenhenville and Beaver Falls are other important steel-producing centres. The chief disadvantage of the region is its remoteness from the sources of iron ore supplies, which come from the Lake Superior region partly by rail and partly by water.
