CBS Video: Mining industry – where the jobs are

CBS reports since 2009, the US has been averaging a gain of nearly 7,000 mining jobs a month – most of those in the upper Midwest. While mining can be a boom and bust industry, the prospect of thousands of new jobs has cities willing to take a chance.

CBS also reports on copper mining in Minnesota where jobs can pay $20 to $25 an hour and quotes Bob McFarlin, vice president of Twin Metals Minnesota: “They’re the sorts of jobs with which “you can build a family, buy a home, send your kids to college and come and live in Northern Minnesota and have a very good career.”
