Coal’s remaining role cited in West Virginia study
A WVU study shows coal still provides high paying jobs and big earnings despite declines in production and exports. In 2017 average coal wages were about 85,000 with miners representing 2.5 percent of employment but 48 percent of earnings. Exports fell from 7.5 billion in 2012 to 1.3 billion in 2016, then rose to 3.2 billion in 2017, with forecasts suggesting demand could persist through 2050.

Sheriff Hieatt said cameras placed around the county capture images as part of a litter control program. After their installation, charges were filed against a Tanner sville man for illegal dumping and a suspended driver. Others face littering charges as images are moved between sites and stored with a live feed to deter improper trash disposal.
