Benefits Go to Labor in Coal Industry Gains
The Economist cites marked efficiency gains in coal mining, with mechanization cutting man hours per ton from 3.90 in 1890 to 1.34 in 1939 and workforce downsizing from 615,000 to 370,000 between 1918 and 1945. Despite productivity, real labor cost per hour rose 177 percent 1917–1944 and per ton 75 percent, while miners’ average weekly wages are the highest among mass industries. The piece argues wages rise as output fails to keep pace, risking future employment if output and efficiency do not improve.
