ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, based on a study conducted by the Perryman Group and released by the Texas Blockchain Council and the Digital Chamber of Commerce, the Bitcoin mining industry, despite being an emerging field, has already created over 31,000 jobs in the United States directly through mining operations and indirectly through supporting industries.
Twelve states in the U.S. account for most of the nation's Bitcoin mining activity, with Texas standing out, having created over 12,200 jobs directly through Bitcoin mining and related supporting industries.
