Kentucky's coal manpower: an assessment of needs and availability for increased coal production

Technical Report · Sat Jun 01 04:00:00 EDT 1974

OSTI ID:7364574

Estimates show that Kentucky has enough manpower to handle increased coal production, provided the state embarks on strong programs in public information, recruiting, training, and education. There are 12,632 unemployed men who are available immediately, and an additional 218,157 more men will become available by 1984. Although women were not included in the estimates, it is probable that they will be working in the mines. The state needs to take leadership in establishing a Coal Mining Manpower Development Program to train, monitor job opportunities, counsel, and recruit. In addition, the state should address itself to recoverable coal deposits, community and industrial development, information sharing, and transportation as they relate to mining.
