Would Chuck Schumer lie?

The actual number is about 1700, and the jobs had nothing to do with Trump. But...hey, it is a fulfilled Trump initiative, right? I am not sure about the numbers but it really depends on what you call jobs. If you just mean the miners themselves it may be 1700 but you also have to add all of the people in that area who the miners spend their money with (grocery stores, banks, barbers, gas stations etc). You also have the white collar jobs at the mining company office. If the mining company closes, the whole town dies. In spite of the rosy rhetoric about "clean jobs", they have largely failed to materialize in the coal belt. I agree it would be great if manufacturing operations opened in Appalachia but logistics makes that pretty unlikely. |
