Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income Natural Resources

U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following comment on Thursday regarding the layoffs of coal miners in Kentucky:

"This is another devastating blow to Kentucky's mining community and the families who rely on coal for their livelihoods. Our coal miners are some of the hardest working Americans, and it's heart-breaking that the Obama Administration's war on coal has yet again contributed to more job losses in this industry."
