Editor’s Note: It is important to remember that the definition of “mining jobs” used to compile these employment figures has changed greatly since 1900. Until the late-1900s, coal companies maintained their own support staff, including everything from mechanics to construction workers, from machinists to supply clerks. While most of these jobs still exist, many roles have been turned over to mine service companies and are no longer counted as “mining jobs.”

The most recent figures show only direct mining jobs. We believe a more accurate comparison of the “mining jobs” reported in the early-to-mid-1900s (which show 100,000 coal mining jobs in West Virginia alone) would be those numbers to the 60,000 direct and indirect jobs identified by the recent joint economic impact study conducted by West Virginia University and Marshall University College of Business.

Note: Municipalities within producing and non-producing counties also receive a share. See following pages for this distribution. *Randolph County had no production in 2012.

2013 Coal Severance Tax and Reallocation (for Coal Producing Counties)

The Coal Severance TaxIn 1987, West Virginia enacted a sever-

ance tax on coal. The tax amounts to 5% of the selling price of mined coal. Of this

amount, the State retains 93%. The remaining 7% is apportioned among the State’s 55 coun-ties and it’s 228 incorporated municipalities.

Three-fourths of the 7% share is divided among the coal producing counties.

This money is distributed according to each county’s production level.

The remaining quarter of the 7% is di-vided among all counties and municipali-ties, according to population.

Each county receives an additional share, based on the population of the unin-corporated areas of the county.

The total severance tax collections for 2013 amounted to more than $400 million.

A total of $35.5 million was distributed to all counties and municipalities. Of this amount, $27 million represented coal pro-duction in the 28 coal producing counties.
