Employment
 Mining
and geological engineers, including mining safety engineers, hold about
7,100 jobs in the U.S. While about 4 out of 10 mining engineers worked in
the mining industry, over one-third worked in professional, scientific,
and technical services firms, mostly providing consulting and other
services to the mining industry. Most of the rest worked in State or
Federal government.
Mining
engineers often are employed at the location of natural deposits, often
near small communities, and sometimes outside the United States. Those
in research and development, management, consulting, or sales, however,
often are located in metropolitan areas. The website
MiningJobs offers details on
