Miners are men who go into underground tunnels and remove various ores. Miners lives in the 19th and early 20th century were not pleasant especially if they were coal miners.
Conditions, safety and pay were abominable. American coal companies in particular were very bad employers, in many cases forcing miners to buy all their supply at company stores ( Listen to the song "16 tons" ) After WW2 conditions became better, particularly in copper and gold mines in Africa and gypsum mines everywhere. Safety became a big concern and pay was far better . My dad was a hard rock miner for 20 years.
