C/Os start at $27,485. After you complete a 1-year probation period and become a SCO (pending approval from supervisors),you receive a 10% salary increase,as well as cost of living raises yearly (usually around 4%)

decent wage for SWVA

Coal Miners start at around $40,000-$60,000 per year, depending on where ya work. I hear United is starting experienced miners at around $30.00 per hour.

I actually seriously considered going underground a few years ago. Those guys have major respect from me. What scared me was job stability. I know without a shadow of a doubt that I'll never get my layoff papers as long as I work at ROSP. There's always going to be convicts. Those idiots aren't going anywhere.

Trucking pays $50,000 to $60,000 with great benefits if you find the right company. Several jobs to choose from within 40-50 miles of Wise County.

Being self-employed in Wise County isn't a bad idea.

Quick? Sign on with a temp($12-$15/hour) that supply folks to the local mining companies, learn the job and get on full time. Most of ours make 65- 70k plus benefits, pension and a 401k. But we work a LOT.
