Southern West Virginias Future At Risk!


Alarming Statistics
From 2008 2013:

Surface Coal Production


66M tons 32M tons (52%)
Overall Coal Production
164M tons 110M tons (33%)
The mining industry
funds as much as 50%
of governmental and
educational programs
for many Southern WV
counties and
they will not
survive
without this
funding.

Join the fight with me!


It affects ALL OF US

Obamas EPA:
Striking at the
heart of the WV
Coalfields, attacking
the industry that
drives the economy
of Southern WV
Southern WV is faced with a fight for survival.
Many hard-working coal miners, their families,
and all the jobs that depend on them are at Risk!
It is a fight none of us can afford to lose.

West Virginia Coal Production and Employment


1900-2013

Editors Note: it is important to


remember that the definition of mining
jobs used to compile these employment
figures has changed greatly since 1900.
Until the late-1900s, coal companies
maintained their own support staff,
including everything from mechanics to
construction workers, from machinists to
supply clerks. While most of these jobs still
exist, many roles have been turned over to
mine service companies and are no longer
counted as mining jobs.
The most recent figures show only direct
mining jobs. We believe a more accurate
comparison of the mining jobs reported
in the early-to-mid-1900s (which show
100,000 coal mining jobs in West Virginia
alone) would be those numbers to the
60,000 direct and indirect jobs identified
by the recent joint economic impact study
conducted by West Virginia University and
Marshall University College of Business.
