Mining is one of the largest and most important sectors in the City of Thompson.
Government services actually have become a larger employment sector, and continues to grow. Retailing, education services and health care also count for large numbers of employees, but these sectors are dependant on demographic shifts. The largest single industrial employer in the community is Inco with 1,350 employees. A major capital project to deepen Birchtree Mine started in April 2000. This orebody is at the north end of Thompson mine.
