The main reason for reducing jobs in the mining industry is the bad condition of the mining sector, as pointed out by the WisEuropa report: “Polski węgiel: quo vadis?” (Polish coal: quo vadis?). Let-off miners have so called mining discharge allowances, i.e. a multiplicity of monthly wages. Additionally, miners reaching retirement age will be retiring. On one hand, the low-emission transformation will decrease the need for coal, but on the other, it will create new jobs in the sectors of new, green technologies. Obviously, changing specialties is not easy, therefore, training programmes will be required, which should be organised by government administration.
