CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) – Federal labor officials said another $4.3 million is heading into West Virginia to help out-of-work coal miners.

A U.S. Department of Labor news release Tuesday said the National Dislocated Worker Grant money will go to WorkForce West Virginia.

The release said West Virginia previously received $10.7 million combined since 2012 through the grant program.

It said the money will help continue services for 1,700 West Virginia participants already enrolled in the re-employment and training services, in addition to about 300 more displaced coal miners.
