The more people want to get away from coal, the poorer coal producing areas become, because they're usually not good for much else. I worked welfare fraud investigations for Kentucky for many years. Your statement is very ignorant. You are using to typical inner city welfare recipient stereotype and applying it across the board, which you cannot do.

Not to mention I would guess their 2nd biggest industry is lumber which is not very profitable. Larger industries are not interested in investing because logistics don't make sense and would be expensive. Although, I believe the work ethic in them areas would probably be significantly higher then those in heavy populated areas, that usually leads to lower wages because the talent pool tends to be more loyal to their employers. Why? Because many don't have options to jump from job to job like larger cities with more opportunity. That's my guess anyway, not fact by any means.

There are probably a few other opportunities down there available, but we won't talk about those.
