Contribution to Manufacturing Value Added in Percent<br />

The number displayed for each bar is that sector's contribution (in percent) to total final energy use in<br />

Brazilian manufacturing.<br />

come extremely low but also induces people to<br />

migrate to already overburdened cities.<br />

Of course, some industries generate far more<br />

jobs than others. Most basic materials process-<br />

Ing industries have both low labor intensities<br />

md high energy intensities, the fabrication and<br />

finishing industries have high labor intensities<br />

and low energy intensities. In the industrial<br />

sector of the state of Karnataka in India, for example,<br />

18 electro-metallurgical firms consumed<br />

two thirds of all industrial electricity and<br />

directly employed 4,000 people. In contrast,<br />

1,200 other firms used the remaining one third<br />
