Editors Note: it is important to remember that t he denition of mining jobs used to compile these employment gures has

changed greatly since 1900. Until the late-1900s, coal companies maintained their own support staff, including everything from

mechanics to construction workers, from machinists to supply clerks. While most of these jobs still exist, many roles have been tur

over to mine service companies and are no longer counted as mining jobs.

The most recent gures show only direct mining jobs. We believe a more accurate comparison of the mining jobs reported in

the early- to -mid-1900s (which show 100,000 coal mining jobs in West Virginia alone) would be those numbers to the 60,000 dire

and indirect jobs identied by the recent joint economic impact study conducted by West Virginia University and Marshall Univers

Colleges of Business.

Note 2: These numbers do not include the contractor totals, which in the case of 2011 account for another 29,512 jobs.

2011 Coal Severance Tax Receipts For Producing Counties

In 1987, West Virginia enacted a severance tax on coal. The tax

mounts to 5% of the selling price of mined coal. Of this amount, the

ate retains 93%. The remaining 7% is apportioned among the States

5 counties and its 228 incorporated municipalities.

Three-fourths of the 7% share is divided among the coal producing

ounties. This money is distributed according to each countys

oduction level.

The remaining quarter of the 7% is divided among all counties and

Note: Municipalities within producing and non-producing counties

also receive a share. See following pages for this distribution.

municipalities, according to population..

Each county receives an additional share, based on the

population of the unincorporated areas of the county.

The total severance tax collections for 2011amounted to more

than $500 million.

A total of $50.1 million was distributed to all counties and

municipalities. Of this amount, $40.1 represented coal production

in the 29 coal producing counties.

A Guide

West Virginia Coal SeamsA graph on page 9 in t his data compilation shows th e amount of

coal mined in West Virginia by coal seam. What is a coal seam?There are 117 identied coal seams in West Virginia. Of these,

65 are considered mineable. Coal is currently being producedfrom 51 of these seams.

West Virginias coal seams are much like a chocolate layercake, with the coal as the chocolate icing between the layers.

Other forms of rock and earth are found between the seams,which are layers between a few inches to a few feet thick.

Each of these layers of coal was formed at different times in thegeologic time scale as shown in the graphic at left. They each rep-resent a period in which the area now known as West Virginia wasinundated by a shallow sea, covering the former ora and faunawith a layer of depositional material (sandstone).

The layers of decaying plants and animals converted into car-bon and began the process of becoming coal.

Today, each of these layers has its own geologic prole, vary -ing by quality (ie., BTUs or heat index) , thickness, etc. They arefound at different levels of the geology, from near the tops of themountains to several hundred feet underground.
