ABSTRACT Tanjung Jabung Timur Regency is rich in natural resources in the form of oil and gas mining. However, in terms of its utilization, it is felt that it is not fully for the welfare of the community. This can be seen from the poverty percentage of Tanjung Jabung Timur which is in the highest position in Jambi Province. In line with its high poverty rate, the economic growth rate of Tanjung Jabung Timur is in the lowest position among regencies/cities in Jambi Province. The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between the growth of the mining sector on poverty and the rate of total economic growth in Tanjung Jabung Timur. With the Pearson correlation methodology, it is concluded that the relationship between the economic growth rate of the mining sector is at a weak level. While the correlation between the rate of the mining sector to the total economic rate has a strong positive value (by 0.770). Keywords: Economy; Mining; Pearson; Poverty
