Good guess!, however, that isn't the number!

I remember this, but the number does not come to mind.  I will say A) 1500 (nine people for every job).  Of course, about any number is possible because of the vast unemployment in Youngstown after the closing of the steel mill and related businesses.

Sorry no, 1500 positions is not correct!
