Report: Working in the US logging industry Working in the US logging industry Introduction The purpose of this report is to report on factual information about the US logging industry and its workers. The US lumber industry It is known that logging industry in the United States has a huge number of employees because of its importance within the sector for job creation. Nevertheless, we should know that Canada has been increasing its production, thanks to the help of Canadian government. In spite of that big competition, US is the biggest exporter country in the world. Loggers, their pays and conditions If we analyse the facts, we can find how risked and low paid lumberjacks are. It is claimed that nearly 4% of these workers suffer illnesses and damages each year. Besides, their pays are lower than the American's majority. Conclusion I have always been thinking that US timber industry had been well paid, but now, I think that government should already improve worker's conditions!
