No offense to any miners, but I've had relatives work in the mines. You earn every dime you make. It's hard, dirty, dangerous work. No wonder there is a shortage of workers.

My Great Grandfather settled in Dickson City, Pennsylvania in the 1910s to work in the Anthracite coal mines there. I still have the gas-lamp he used down there. Unfortunatly, he died of the "black lung" when my grandmother was only 7.
