La categoría del Censo es 'minería, explotación de canteras y extracción de petróleo y gas', que es más amplia que la jurisdicción de la MSHA e incluye a trabajadores de petróleo y gas que ninguna mina emplea. Estas cifras describen el condado circundante, no esta mina, y no son un factor en ningún incidente específico.ⓘ
