Current Mining Jobs in Superior, Arizona
January 2011

There are 41 mining jobs listed on Job Central within 25 miles of Superior. I still maintain that mining jobs are not the issue for an economic wealth in the region. Copper mining has been going on there for 100 years and it looks like a third world country. Not a single sign of prosperity in the whole region because the pay was low and all the profits went to management, management bonuses and stockholders.

Four of the jobs are with Rio Tinto, so I started to eliminate them; however, the job descriptions were worth noting. The four jobs are for engineers with qualifications that I doubt will be found in Superior.
