Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the economic factors that led to labor unrest in the bituminous (or soft coal) mining industry. The author also includes data on earnings, absenteeism, and miners' estimates of the cost of living. The book illuminates the causes of underemployment in the industry, focusing on excessive mine capacity, cyclical demand, and the seasonal nature of coal consumption as key factors. The author provides an in-depth examination of how irregular mine operation impacted earnings. The book also explores the significance of earning opportunities for miners' well-being and makes a point to connect industry-created instability to broader concerns for public interest, social justice, and wise conservation of the country's soft coal supply. Ultimately, this book provides an essential understanding of the historical and economic context of coal mining in the United States while offering valuable insights into the challenges faced by the industry and the miners who worked within it.
