Hurley's economy runs on Grant County copper and on Silver City, about 12 miles northwest. Freeport-McMoRan's Chino operation at Santa Rita is the anchor employer of the Mining District, and mine wages lead the local pay scale; health care, public schools, and retail account for most of the rest.
At Hurley's size the American Community Survey does not report a reliable industry-by-industry breakdown, so this profile describes the mix rather than charting shares that would carry very wide margins of error. The county-level industry chart on the Grant County profile shows the regional pattern.
JTIP's small-community tiers apply to Grant County hires: see the JTIP guide. Hurley's combined gross receipts tax rate is 7.375%, the lowest of the incorporated Mining District towns: check any address in the GRT tool.
Median gross rent is omitted: few Hurley households rent, and the ACS estimate carries a margin of error of about $250, too wide to publish as a single figure.
