BETHEL PARK, Pa. – At Ameri-Source Metals' machine shop outside Pittsburgh, stacks of graphite stubs have begun to pile up in a quiet corner.
"I think the first place will be where we make sure we really cut down on costs," Goel told CNBC. "That particular cost-cutting started almost like six to eight months back." From January to September, the states bordering the Great Lakes have lost more than 25,000 manufacturing jobs: Pennsylvania lost 8,100; Ohio lost 6,000; Michigan lost 6,500; and Wisconsin lost 4,700."Western Pennsylvania has lost a pretty big chunk of workforce," he said.
The weakness of the blue-chip manufacturers is starting to spill over to small- and medium-size suppliers. "We used to make offering plates" for church money collections, Verhein said with a laugh, referring to the company's nimbleness. "We now have 0% of the liturgical market." Bob Harper, president of the local chapter of the United Steelworkers representing Timken workers, says when those employees bring home 25% less than they used to, the area economy suffers.
