HIBBING, MN - JANUARY 17: Dan and Heather Hill's kids, Riley, 8

HIBBING, MN - JANUARY 17: Dan and Heather Hill's kids, Riley, 8, left, Annalise, 5, and Jacob, 2, share the bathroom as they get ready for bed on January 17, 2016 in Hibbing, MN. Dan Hill is third generation iron ore miner who has been out of work since August 2015 after the United Taconite Mine shut down due to a drop in demand for the taconite pellet. He lives with his wife Heather and their children, Riley, Annalise, and Jacob on a farm in rural Minnesota on the Iron Range. Roughly 2,000 residents are out of work in northern Minnesota after three of the iron ore mines shut down amid a sharp drop in commodity prices linked to the economic slowdown in China. Mining is the biggest industry on the Iron Range, and the ripple effects of the closures are being felt across the region. For many workers, health and unemployment benefits will run out in February, and they are unsure when -- or if -- they will be called back to their jobs.
