I don't like to ask for evidence, especially from a friend, but my understanding is that these day mining is not well paid. It depends purely on the price of coal, and that is often far cheaper to import. So that the danger of the job does not match the remuneration in this country, and therefore those who work in mines are only doing so because they have no other recourse.
As I say, this is an impression from different sources. If you can show otherwise I will hold my hands up.
