The graphs illustrate the states with more than 10,000 mining sector employees, show how mining jobs in these states are distributed by subsector, and compare the value of mining shipments in them before and after the last recession. Among the mining subsectors are oil and gas extraction and support activities. Internet address: <//www.census.gov/library/visualizations/2015/comm/mining_sector.html>.
