Employment In Ishpeming, Michigan

We have a lot of job opportunities, such as the hospital, the schools, and many other small businesses. Just having a job makes one set when it comes to money up here. A lot of people here like to go into the building companies. If they are making concrete, cutting wood at the wood mill, or even helping out making the houses here. Another job here is to work in one of the mall shops around downtown and the area. Most are family-owned, or have been passed on from generation to generation.

Mining Employment

Employment in Ishpeming has been going down in the past years because of the economy problems. But the main thing here still is the mine. Most of the past miners now work at the Cliff Shaft museum, where they show items and tools that they used in the past. They also do tours into one of the mines, so one can get to feel how grubby and dirty and dangerous the job was.

Back when the mine was still in use, almost every available man in Ishpeming worked there, even though the job was very dangerous. (Link on picture.) 
1867 to 1987 were Ishpeming’s “golden years”. In the 2000s many people worked for the Cliff Shaft Museum, where they showed almost everything there is to know about the mine and its past. They did tours of one of the mines where you could see how they worked and how some of the tools were used. You can also buy a few souvenirs from the gift shop there. First join the Ishpeming Historical Club and learn a bit of background information of the mine and the town.
 
Here is a site with some information on the mine and some of the people that founded and also worked there. It also has pictures that show what the obelisk looks like.
