For a short time I worked as a trainer working with long-term unemployed - trying to make them aware of transferrable skills and to look at jobs outside their normal experience, but it's hard to retrain a fifty year old man who's spent his life at the coal-face, especially when the only available jobs are in service industries. ... Many miners spent a chunk of their redundancy money training to be lorry drivers and bus drivers and within a few years the market for drivers was flooded making it harder for drivers who'd been in the transport industry for twenty years to find work because they wanted to be paid for their experience and re-trained miners would jump at jobs for minimum wage. ...
