People don’t realize that during the pandemic we kept building hospitals and schools etc to keep America moving. We didn’t see any bonuses we kept it moving. Rebar shortages , worker shortages, longer hours and we keep going. Shout out to all the construction workers. Union ironworker here 👍
I LOVE it! More like this please! Welcome back Mike Rowe and kudos to Fox Business for showing this. Definitely gives me that Dirty Jobs vibe which was one of my favorite shows. Much respect to the hard-working men and women who keep out country going. Although this current administration doesn't care for them and takes them for granted, we need more shows like so more Americans and people around the world can appreciate them.
Agree with you totally commander, this current administration are a bunch of morans they have no idea how industry works, we have to ban fossil fuel ya right what a bunch of IDiots !!
@@matthewdebrino6062 Agreed! Ban fossil fuels but yet plead with our "allies" to produce more oil while at the same time destroying our own jobs and ability to produce oil and be energy independent. If people don't see what is going on with this administration by now, they just don't want to see.
When you see unsightly cars being hauled off and sent to wrecking yards for recycling this is the end result. This has to be far better than producing steel from raw products. Recycling at its best....great video.
I wonder too. The current generation seems composed of soft fleshy marshmallows. I'm sure they'd have to file a grievance that it's not 72º in the melt room.
Funny seeing how all our steel gets sold to China and our steel factories are being shut down to slow the economy while we start buying inferior Chinese steel to build with
Ive worked in that plant. Ironically to keep the guys cool on the man coolers, pulpit room cool, Torch drive room & Roller drive room cool. I think I would consume about 2 gallons of water/Gatorade in a day. Its one of the hottest/dirtiest places I’ve ever worked. The only thing separating you & that fresh, almost molten billet was a piece of corrugated tin. It was a hell of a place to work. You finish one repair & there would be more repairs already waiting. Stay out of the way of the slag trucks too, hell of a sight seeing the tires on fire as they drove.
This is perfect and exactly how I envisioned our future. With innovation in the forefront utilizing recycled materials to lead the way into a new mentality. One that is based on renewable resources to retool our thinking about how we build. With all the consumable output finding it's way back to the consumer, how is it possible to lose? The material is out there, we just need to find a way to make it pay, twice.
My father worked at a steel mill in Kansas City for 20+ years before it was sold and then eventually shut down. This is hard but rewarding work, and critically valuable to our economy and independence.
I’ve had the opportunity to visit that facility on several occasions. It is a well orchestrated operation in every respect. And “momma” was correct, when they charge a furnace, it does indeed look like “Hell”.
I will quote Chris Cooper (as John Hickam) from the movie October Sky (1999). “The coal from that mine makes steel. And if steel fails, then the country fails!”
I didn't like that terminology. I'm guessing it was something FAR more innocent. Incredible detectors used at these sites. They can pick up if someone had taken barium at a medical facility even a week after the test...(I know because I work at a Gerdau scrap facility)
How do they maintain the correct (precise) % of carbon? They just smelt tons of assorted unrefined steel fragments. Those fragments also contain Mo, V, Cr and other elements present in steel alloys. How do the certify the new steel? Who knows?
They are sorted before to minimise impurities. After melting an exact analysis is taken from samples and if necessary carbon and other things added to change the composition before using the molten steel to make billets.
If they end up with a weird mix I bet they would just sell it for a low end product like counterweights for cranes of forklifts. All they care about is mass.
Steel is necessary and a fossil fuel consuming material to make. I support research on maximizing fuel efficiency of those factories and minimize emissions as much as possible. Using cleaner sources of energy such as geothermal and new technology nuclear power to have an effect at lowering fossil energy consumption from those places. Fossil energy needs for steel cannot reach zero since some source of carbon is needed to make steel itself. I support the placement of new small business steel making companies who make high quality made in USA product and have much better fuel efficiency and lower emissions than anything China.

Mike Rowe is a TV actor. No more no less. Let's pretend he is a labor expert? Show us your true resume (CV) Mike Rowe. All just a display for people who don't know better?
@Alan J I don't hate. I called it out when Mike Rowe was presented in a similar role as "Labor Expert Mike Rowe". This is a follow up to that. I have to point that out again because it strikes a nerve in me (as the idiom goes). I have no problem with Mike Rowe and him getting work and would be happy having drinks together.
@Fred Wills Of course I'm serious. We have ignored our infrastructure for over 25 years. President Biden finally gets an infrastructure bill though. This is great for Americans.
@@landsknechtmercenary5953 The US is greatly lagging behind in infrastructure. President Biden is fixing that. You should thank him if you are a patriot.
I think you'd be surprised how many women work at these facilities, and I'm not talking about administrative jobs. I've toured several Gerdau plants & have met a lot of GREAT, HARD WORKING folks. Good pay for hard work...you have to make sure you're not afraid of getting dirty!

Well I'll be, a supervisor that actually does his job god dang America has hope
I wonder whom will replace these hard working men ?
I wonder too. The current generation seems composed of soft fleshy marshmallows. I'm sure they'd have to file a grievance that it's not 72º in the melt room.
Last of the Mohicans... Good luck everyone
Chinese.
Third worlders more than happy to make $50/hr and send it back home to live like a king.
I work up there , a lot of people come in Bc of the pay , but 18/20 people won’t make it up here
Are you telling me that US steel is better than any other steel in the world??
Yes, yes I am!
Funny seeing how all our steel gets sold to China and our steel factories are being shut down to slow the economy while we start buying inferior Chinese steel to build with
Very much respect for all of them hard work and going a darn good job no excellent job.
Hard work much RESPECT AND THANK YOU !!!!!! 😁😁

How could this country have been built without gender neutral bathrooms?
they're called family bathrooms.
@@shannonconley5316 GENDER NEUTRAL
Even when I was at my best, I never would have been good enough to do the inside work at a steel mill.
The backbone of are country is getting weak not like when I was younger we’re screwed
Hard times makes for strong people . Easy times makes for weak people.
There are plenty of young men that want to do this, all of the new generation are not activists yet.
Especially without essential skills like math and SPELLING!! 😆
I’m proud to work for this company and we have to respect and support our production team ♥️

Ok Mike! Wow,this episode truly is where real men work,not for the faint at hea❤.
Wow! I have a nephew who worked at a titanium plant. Saying it was hot and dirty doesnt do it justice.
Love the videos
I poured steel in a centrifugal foundry in northern Portland Hard and difficult job but it paid very well
Brilliant.
I love scrapping!
I'd like to see them visit a iron foundry, never see anyone talk about those iron workers
These are the best video in TV.
MIKE ROWE FOR PRESIDENT next time!!!! That trumps Trump, he is not electable.
I’m no tree hugger but recycling is so easy and so awesome for humans
Mike Rowe knows things people.. Pay attention..
I agree and he's easy on the eyes.
So why are they closing the Gerdau Plant in St. Paul, MN.
What happened to the nuclear fallout ? - 7:12
probably a box of illeaglly dumped/mixed smoke detectors hidden in the batch?

With the same wages from the 80s
Gen Z will definitely do all these jobs!😅
Anybody would do these jobs, steel union workers probably get $50/hr and up.
Mike Rowe's voice makes me miss Dirty Jobs.
💚🤘🏿
That’s pretty cool , it reminds me of “ The 80’s! “
Hard work doesn't pay. It's just another part of the big lie.
the big lie is lying on a beach is satisfying. that's hell to me.
At least the Democrats are making America a third world country.
U.S. made steel must be for export. All the steel I buy says made in Mexico!
FJB!

Our recycle steel comes from brass trumpets
154 boilermakers
Mike Rowe took a look at the slaves who built the whitehouse?
the air in that place would be not so good on the old lungs there
*when will Mike Rowe inspect the @nus of our country?*

why is this on fox news??
I'd like to see Mr. Voice over live on the wages of these jobs that he glorifies.
He could probably do it. These guys get paid pretty well and Mike is a very practical person.
Considering he did a few of these jobs for a living, not including his show, I’m fairly certain he has. He is successful, therefore he can glorify it.
Once upon a time, per-capita productivity was predominant among the 'alphabet-soup' of 'leading economic indicators'.
The concept of "By the people, FOR the people" deserves a comprehensive 'report-card'.
before economy crisis coming ! we need print 5 trIllion dollars save our stocks market!
Cut off at the most interesting part.
What back bone…. Buwhaa!
Sucks that Biden is killing this kind of work
Because he's the be all, see all lol.

You have to wear a mask in a steel mill even before Covid. Gerdau has one of the highest safety standards in the industry. Everyone wears a mask.
