Stillwater Mine has hired 150 workers over the past year. This follows significant layoffs of 640 employees in late 2024. The layoffs occurred after palladium prices sharply declined. Palladium values have since recovered, aiding the rehiring efforts. However, the mine's full recovery remains slow, with some sections still inactive.
