A story in Sunday’s Arizona Daily Star reports that Arizona’s mining job market
continues to flourish.
The report on Freeport McMoRan and Asarco shows that both
companies have more people on their payroll than they did a year ago. They are also looking to hire more workers
than they were a year ago.
Freeport MxcMoRan currently employs about 7,800 people in
Arizona, about 700 more than a year ago.
Asarco employs about 2,400 people in Arizona, 40 more than a
year ago.
Asarco has about 140 vanancies today, up from 100 a year
ago. Freeport has about 570 vacancies, up from nearly 500 a year ago.
Freeport McMoRan estimates that its Arizona operations had a
direct and indirect economic impact of
$2.1 billion in 2010.
