A Miners earnings at this time depended on how much coal he 'hewed' in a shift, which was weighed at the surface, plus how many of his family also worked down the mine as 'getters', 'hurriers', 'thrusters' and 'trappers'. Wives were employed as 'getters', 'hurriers' and 'thrusters', and children were employed as'trappers'.
In the 1950s, coal miners in the United States typically earned between $10,000 and $15,000 annually, depending on their location and experience. This income was relatively competitive for the time, especially in comparison to other labor-intensive jobs. Additionally, miners often received benefits such as health insurance and pensions, which were important aspects of their overall compensation package. However, wages could vary significantly based on factors like union representation and regional economic conditions.

Coal miners in the Victorian era were paid low wages, typically earning around 15-25 shillings per week. The work was extremely dangerous and the conditions were harsh, leading to widespread poverty among coal miners and their families.
The older power plants used coal, but it polluted so much we try to use other methods.
a coal miner makes about $7 a week.
They didn't earn a lot of money at all. They worked for very little pay. The only luck the had was if they found gold.
