Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that coal mining has a higher occupational fatality rate than the average United States industry?

Yes. A Bureau of Labor Statistics fact sheet reports that the coal mining industry's fatal injury rate in 2007 was 24.8 per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers, nearly six times the 4.3 rate for all private industry. Other retrieved items discuss coal-mining safety trends or cancer and pollution risks but do not compare coal mining's fatality rate with the US industry average.
