Mining Jobs

As we start the year 2015 much of the world’s mining industry is in decline. This is due to slow manufacturing and construction sectors and sluggish economies. Demand for much of the mined commodities is steady or in decline and is expected to remain stagnant for some time. The employers feel that they as a majority will expand their workforce in 2015 and buck the global mining industry’s downward trend.

According to a recent article by Mining Weekly “” the Hayes Canada Salary Guide survey revealed that most of the mining industry expects to add employees. Even in a downturn of the mining market many need more employees to maintain current levels and potential increased activity. There is a shortage of skilled labor within the mining areas of Canada. Employers find it hard to keep skilled workers for long periods as they bounce around from employer to employer for increased wages.
