Nevada’s mining sector has accounted for 14 percent of jobs added in the state in the past year and 33 percent of jobs added statewide since the recession ended in June 2009, according to a recently released study from the Nevada Mining Association completed by Las Vegas-based Applied Analysis.

According to the National Mining Association report “Economic Contributions of U.S Mining 2010,” Nevada is one of the five states where mining accounts for the largest share of total employment.
