Or when reading the article
"[...] he found more than one hundred federally funded courses covering everything from computer programming to nursing.
He settled instead on something familiar: a coal mining course. 'I think there is a coal comeback,' said the 33-year-old son of a miner. [...]
'I have a lot of faith in President Trump,' Sylvester said."
- toomuchtodo 9y agoCould you have also mentioned the part where they aren’t paid while training and they have no guarantee of a job after training?
- _Codemonkeyism 9y agoI could copy and paste the whole article. I could quote your lines. I could quote the lines where it says he is training for $13/h low paying coal job because coal companies sell their assets to companies that only hire temporary workers. I could quote the part where it says that new companies will not come if there is no trained workforce, so those people are stuck in a catch-22. I could quote the part where it says that people retrain where there is no hope, but don't retrain where there is coal left. I could quote the part where it says coal companies move to natural gas. I could quote the part where one miner says the coal is a great career path for the next 50 years. Or people could be interested and read the article.
