The global coal industry may have to shed nearly 1 million jobs by 2050, even without any further pledges to phase out fossil fuels, with China and India facing the biggest losses, research showed on Tuesday.
I wonder how/if the states of these workers will reemploy them
Nope… competing industries had to get killed to keep coal alive because that's what lobbyists would reward politicians for with lucrative jobs after their political career. For this reason the former German government for example killed an once world-leading solar industry via massive overregulation… 100k jobs gone to keep 10k coal miners in their job.
