    Your assumption that i meant the volume of all their sales is off base. I guess i need to simplify/ clarify what I meant. There used to be a special account that airgas had for all glassworkers...

    Re: How many lamp workers are there in the US?

    20k was the estimate I always heard thrown around. Eyeglass manufacturers or oxygen sales statiztics would be a good way to guage , if someone wanted to do a serious estimate.
