A recent report from the Duke University Nicholas School of the Environment says the coal industry has lost nearly 50,000 jobs since 2011. In the central Appalachian states, the coal jobs are "by orders of magnitude the best job out there," according to Phil Smith, of the United Mine Workers Association, a union representing coal miners.
Smith said he has seen about 15,000 miners laid off from jobs just in the Appalachian region over the last three years. Though Pennsylvania and other nearby regions are also home to shale mining operations, coal miners are not getting those jobs.
Overall, the regions with the most energy job increases were the Northeast, Southwest, Midwest and West.

Major utilities such as Duke Energy and American Electric Power have decommissioned several plants and have plans to shut down more in the next few years. Smith says a lot of those operations are attracting workers in from traditional oil-producing states, and the jobs themselves require a different set of skills.
