Footnotes
The increase is due to an omission in the fiscal year 2024 number. The Mine Safety and Training Division failed to include the number of individuals trained in the fiscal year 24 number, resulting in a significantly lower number and a reduced fiscal year 2025 projections. The correct fiscal year 2024 actual should have been 7,807.
