The two line graphs illustrate the differences in produced steel and actual demand for it and the number of people working in a country over a course of one year, grouped by month.
Overall, it appears that every month, aside from December, steel is overproduced in comparison to the actual demand. As for the employed workers, the number was the highest in the beginning of the year and lowest by the end of it.
In January, the amount of steel produced was twice as high as the actual demand for it, and stood at 4000 million tonnes. Until the end of the year, the steel was overproduced with 1000 to approximately 2500 million tonnes on average. Yet, in December the production of steel fell below 800-1000 million tonnes, while the demand for it grew to 2000 million tonnes.
The number of employees was highest in the beginning of the year as well, reaching between 5000 and 6000 thousand workers. It rapidly declined by spring, hitting 3000 thousand people employed. The workforce fluctuated between 2500 and 3500 thousands until August and started to steadily decline afterwards, falling to only 1000 thousand workers by December.
