美國鋼鐵公司

上榜年份：2006

排名：第44

2006年對(duì)美國鋼鐵公司（United States Steel）來說是個(gè)豐收年。公司當(dāng)年宣布凈收入達(dá)到14億美元，而前一年這一數(shù)字為9.1億美元。從那以后，公司繼續(xù)保持增長(zhǎng)，直到2008年全球經(jīng)濟(jì)陷入停滯，而公司股票在這年沖上高點(diǎn)后隨即開始暴跌。

2008年，由于原材料需求不旺，公司被迫裁掉了3,500名帶薪工人和工會(huì)工人。這家公司雖沒有破產(chǎn)，但由于經(jīng)濟(jì)整體仍處于復(fù)蘇期，鋼鐵市場(chǎng)的增長(zhǎng)依然較為緩慢。

United States Steel

List year: 2006

Rank: 44

2006 was a great year for United States Steel. That year, the company reported a net income of $1.4 billion for the year compared to a net income of $910 million the year before. It continued to chug along until the world economy ground to a halt in 2008 when its stock peaked and then took a nosedive.

In 2008, the company was forced to lay off 3,500 salaried and union workers, since raw materials were in lower demand. United States Steel didn't go under, but while the economy is recovering, growth in the steel market is still slow.
