<p>Donald Trump has made bringing jobs to America a central focus of his campaign. As I wrote on Saturday, Trump has shifted ;his entire focus towards bringing down his one remaining rival.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m going to bring jobs back to America and Hillary has no clue as to jobs,&rdquo; said Trump last week as he slammed Hillary for supporting NAFTA and the Trans Pacific Partnership. &ldquo;She can&rsquo;t beat me on jobs and the economy.&#8221;</p>
<p>One way in which Trump seeks to make jobs available is by reviving the mining industry, which since 2014 has lost a shocking ;191,000 jobs. Nearly 7,000 of those jobs were lost this April.</p>
<p>The plight of these workers has not escaped the ;billionaire businessman, and he&#8217;s using it as ammo against his Democratic opponent.  ;</p>
<p>Trump framed Hillary as &ldquo;anti-coal,&rdquo; during a recent campaign stop in Charleston, West Virginia, ;claiming that he as president would revive the industry while Clinton would kill it. ;&ldquo;I am going to put the miners back to work and she said &lsquo;I am going to put the miners and the mines out of business,&rsquo;&rdquo; he announced at the Charleston Civic Center on May 5th. ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;If I win, we are going to bring those miners back. You are going to be so proud of your president, you are going to be so proud of your country.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that &#8220;since reaching a peak in September 2014, employment in mining has decreased by 191,00, with more than three-quarters of the loss in support activities for mining.&#8221; ;</p>
<p>The entire industry has been on the decline since the 80s, but sped up painfully with the loss of more than 10,000 jobs between April 2015 and April 2016. <em>That&rsquo;s a lot of people out of work in just 12 months. ;</em></p>
