A study done for the Energy Policy Project by Bruce Hannon of the University of Illinois shows the total amount of energy used by each major industry, together with its employment intensity. It indicates that in their production processes, most of the high energy-intensive industries such as cement, aluminum, chemicals, and steel are the ones that employ relatively few people. But most of the industries that had the highest number of jobs per dollar of investment, such as hospitals, hotels, education, dairy farm products, barber shops, were the lowest users of energy in their operations. This and other studies done by the Energy Policy Project staff are likely to show that only a handful of industries me more than half of the energy used by all industries, yet employ less ~han 10 p_ercent of the people working m the Umted States. Further these industries produce only about S percent of the total GNP.
