Obviously, it's a job anyone can do....race/origins aside. However, I suspect most people weigh the job dangers against that salary. It's also strenuous work and the body can only hold up so long given the physical requirements. Beyond that, mines around the U.S. are often in places where housing is scarce (see coal in WV for example) and they aren't necessarily desirable places. So many factors weigh against that salary.
BTW, welcome to FR.
