The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 9,000 jobs lost in mining in
October, a statistic Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is
likely to cite in the waning hours of the campaign.
“Mining lost 9,000 jobs in October, with most of the decline occurring in support activities for mining,” the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced in Friday’s jobs report. “Since May of this year, employment in mining has decreased by 17,000.”
Some have critiqued the Obama administration’s Environmental Protection Agency for their regulations on the coal industry, calling it a” war on coal.”
