Average miner produces 7 tons of coal a day. That is $700 or about 200,000 a year in production. Ofcourse the miner only takes home 40-50k. (assuming labor regulations)
The average US coal miner makes about $80k, considering they mostly lived in inexpensive places, that’s pretty good pay. I can’t imagine a job that I’d rather have less though
Some make it a longgg time. A few of my wife’s relatives were active miners and lived into their late 80’s and early 90’s. Rough life though. And that specific area has decent hospitals. Go figure .
That’s amazing. Every miner in my family history didn’t make it past 60ish, if that. Decent hospitals too! I mean they also drank a ton but when you mine 🤷
