High paying jobs.  The average mining employee makes nearly $45,000 each year.

Mining's economic impact benefits the entire community.  Mining in Michigan is responsible for an economic impact of more than $18-billion each year.  Mining affects the local community directly through job creation at the mine and indirectly with the creation of new business to serve the mining industry.  Also, workers who earn a higher wage help to spur economic growth in their community
