13:24Now Playing"To the unemployed of Glasgow it would seem like paradise."
Francis Williams reports from Scunthorpe, a town riding the wave of the booming steel industry. One third of Scunthorpe's residents work directly in steel, and the town's population is increasing every year as more and more people seek the high wages and job security of the steelworks.
