10 workers making and maintaining machines that replace 1000 miners
And now, you understand why coal jobs were lost. Thanks for playing.
The vast majority of mine workers don't have the education or skills to work as technicians. Most mine technician jobs require college degrees in mechanical and electrical engineering. So, a bunch of miners out of work replaced by machines and a much smaller number of factory workers and engineers replace them to produce, maintain, and operate the machines.
Yet, according to GOP talking points, all of those miners were fired because of regulations and if coal is deregulated , then the mining jobs that were replaced by robots will come back.
Blaming the GOP for advancements in tech is pretty damn dumb.
Our nation must compete. Our coal is good and clean and can be exported cheap with our high end machines.
Luddites also lost their jobs...
