Mining Execs Are Sad Bc Gen Z Would Rather Save The Planet Than Work For Them

Australia’s mining industry is facing a major skills shortage because Gen Z kids are too “green” and don’t want to devote their lives to fossil fuels. These inner-city lefties! How selfish of us to avoid controversial industries that are actively destroying the planet!

The Australian Resources and Energy Employer Association (AREEA) released a report last week that said the mining industry needs 24,000 new workers during the next five years to keep on top of its projects. Which includes coal mining.

“Our industry is battling the worst skills crisis in a generation,” AREEA’s chief executive Steve Knott said, per ABC.
