In Coal Country, the Mines Shut Down, the Women Went to Work and the World Quietly Changed. (The New York Times, 9/14/2019)
Then everything changed.
It has been a hot and mean summer in Letcher County, with a rash of coal mine bankruptcies and layoffs even crueler than the ones that came before. From the barstools at the American Legion post to the parking lot of the unemployment office, there was little debate: The coal business around here is going under. The only question was what would keep everyone afloat.
These days, the answer has been: women. From 2010 to 2017, Letcher County saw a greater shift in the gender balance of its labor force than almost any other county in the United States.Percentage of population 25 and older with a bachelor's degree:
- 11.7% - Letcher County
- 23.2% - Kentucky
- 30.9% - U.S.
Percentage of population 65 and older:
- 19.5% - Letcher County
- 16.4% - Kentucky
- 15.6% - U.S.
% of population living in poverty:
- 30.8% - Letcher County
- 17.2% - Kentucky
- 12.3% - U.S.

In McConnell’s Own State, Fear and Confusion Over Health Care Bill. (The New York Times, 6/28/2017)
Perhaps nowhere has the health care law had as powerful an impact as in Kentucky, where nearly one in three people now receive coverage through Medicaid, expanded under the legislation. Perhaps no region in Kentucky has benefited as much as Appalachia, the impoverished eastern part of the state, where in some counties more than 60 percent of people are covered by Medicaid.
