While newspapers from Phoenix to New York in the past few days are describing the loss of jobs in the Arizona mining industry and its impacts on families and communities, the Arizona Daily Star ran a front page story about gold mines in Mexico eager to hire Mexican miners returning home and others with a variety of skills. Non-Mexican citizens need a work visa to work in that country.
Both Gammon Gold and Tucson-based Mayo Gold Explorations are looking for workers for mines in Chichuahua and Sonora, respectively. The news story has links for job applicants.
