Few, if any, industries that offer the fulfilling careers found in Nevada mining. In addition to paying the state’s highest average salary at over $93,000, miners have access to benefits including health care, retirement, sick leave, and paid time off.

Gone are the days of the grizzled prospector with shovel and pickaxe in hand. Today’s mining features a highly skilled and highly trained workforce, with career pathways available for recent high school graduates and those with advanced degrees. Roughly 15,000 Nevadans are directly employed by the mining industry, with another 26,000 working throughout the supply chain. While most of Nevada’s major mines are located in rural northern Nevada, both direct and supply chain careers are available throughout all 17 counties in the state.
