Antofagasta Region Mining Employment (Chile, INE)

Latest

58.09thousand persons

Methodology

## What this measures

The number of people living in the Antofagasta Region, in thousands, whose main job is in mining and quarrying (CAENES section B), from INE's Encuesta Nacional de Empleo, as a rolling three-month average published monthly.

## Why it matters

Antofagasta has the largest concentration of mining jobs in Chile. This series shows directly how many people in the region the industry employs, and how that changes with new projects, expansions and closures.

## How to read it

Higher means more mining jobs in the region. Compare it with the region's total employment to see mining's share, and with its unemployment rate.

## What it does not say

The survey counts people where they live, so workers who commute in from other regions on rotating shifts are counted in their home region. A regional estimate with sampling error. Contractors classified to other industries are not included.
