From 1991 to 1997, total employment in carbon and graphite production rose from 8,400 people to about 10,900 employees, before falling to 9,959 in 2000.
The global timber industry employs millions of people worldwide. In the United States alone, the industry employs over 60,000 people in logging and around 400,000 in wood products manufacturing.
Industry employment declined from about 13,355 in 1997 to 12,628 by 2000, as manufacturers utilized automation instead of an increased workforce to boost productivity. Production workers in 2000 totaled 9,417
Figures for 2001 showed 7,000 employees in 57 establishments, some 2,700 of whom worked in production capacities, producing total shipments valued at $1.3 billion and receiving an annual payroll of $397 million.

One of the main causes cited for almost two decades of industry stagnation was the decline of the steel industry, a prime market for the industry's products. In addition, world demand for carbon and graphite electrodes plummeted
In 1997, the product share was split between two product classes--electrodes, which claimed 45.7 percent of the market, and all other graphite and carbon products, which claimed the remaining 54.3 percent.
UCAR International Inc., with sales of $947 million, accounted for more than 50 percent of industry sales in 1998.

Fishery, Manufacturing, and Wood products, and tourism.
By 1959, many new products followed. Filamentary carbon was made into graphite cloth and eventually carbon and graphite cloth, felt, yarn, tape, and fibers were to follow.
