Editor’s Note: it is important to remember that the definition of “mining jobs” used to compile these employment figures 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 turned over to mine service companies and are no longer counted as “mining jobs.” The most recent figures 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 direct and indirect jobs identified by the recent joint economic impact study conducted by West Virginia University and Marshall University 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 amounts to 5% of the selling price of mined coal. Of this amount, the State retains 93%. The remaining 7% is apportioned among the State’s 55 counties and it’s 228 incorporated municipalities.
Three-fourths of the 7% share is divided among the coal producing counties. This money is distributed according to each county’s production 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 Seams
A graph on page 9 in this data compilation shows the amount of coal mined in West Virginia by coal seam. What is a coal seam?
There are 117 identified coal seams in West Virginia. Of these, 65 are considered mineable. Coal is currently being produced from 51 of these seams.
West Virginia’s coal seams are much like a chocolate layer cake, 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 the geologic time scale as shown in the graphic at left. They each rep-resent a period in which the area now known as West Virginia was inundated by a shallow sea, covering the former flora and fauna with 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 profile, vary-ing by quality (ie., BTUs or “heat index) , thickness, etc. They are found at different levels of the geology, from near the tops of the mountains to several hundred feet underground.

Editor’s note: There was an error in the 2009 edition of Coal Facts. Due to a typographical error, the employment was incorrectly stated to be 1,833. It should have been 833 and this number injected into the calculation for “Estimated Direct Wages” to arrive at an erroneous figure. The
