West Virginia's Coal Industry
Working to Create Opportunity for the People of Our State

By James Milam
LOGAN -- Coal mining has provided quality jobs for generations of West Virginians. Today, the industry not only provides thousands of jobs for miners, but also provided opportunities for the state's small businesses and entrpreneurs.
For every job directly created by the coal industry, it is estimated another four jobs are created in service and vendor industries. What does that mean? It means that the 20,000 coal miners created an additional 80,000 service jobs. Most of those jobs are high-paying and highly skilled.
West Virginia's coal industry has a long history. In fact, you can easily say the coal industry is West Virginia. Today, the coal industry is enjoying a boom as the nation looks for ways to reduce its dependency on foreign oil.
Like any good citizen, the coal industry wants a good future for the state and its people. That's why we are working to take advantage of the current upswing in the industry to work with state and local government to build a new economy for the coalfields region.
