Breaker boys, who worked in coal mines primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, typically earned very low wages, often around $1 to $2 per day. Their work involved separating coal from slate and other debris, which was dangerous and grueling. Despite the hard labor, many families relied on these earnings for survival amid tough economic conditions. Overall, their income was minimal and reflected the exploitation of child labor during that era.
