Job hunting for domestic work, not easy for New Brunswick miners

New Brunswick mine workers discovered finding new jobs close to home is no easy task.

According to CBC, a new job training centre opened to help the mine employees find a new job. About 1000 people will be unemployed by the time the mine closes on May 10.

Some of the workers believe they will have to leave the province to find work. Ken Smith, one of the former workers, will fly all the way to Alberta for a job interview.

The Brunswick Mine announced it would close last year after operating for close to 50 years. They said there were shutting down because there was nothing left to mine.
