[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 917422, member: 97"] The local unemployment agency daily lists 100-200 local jobs for even our little low population area...Everyone is going to the big money in the Bakken oil fields of ND/MT, leaving the local business's crying for truck drivers, mechanics, skilled and unskilled labor... Even McDonalds is having trouble finding help and running ads on the radio with special deals for help...In some areas you can make almost $20 an hour flipping burgers....The oil field wages are drawing in folks from not only all over the state but the whole country... And with all the oil field work the rail traffic has really picked up- and the railroads are hiring more and more... And with all the thousands of oil field trucks running daily over the highways- highway construction is going to boom during the warm weather months just rebuilding/maintaining the roads... The major problem is finding housing... Many in the oilfields are living in campers or mancamps.. Plans are in the works to build several new motels, housing areas and apartment complex's- and they are moving in prefab houses but those putting them up have been having trouble finding enough labor to do that even...And most these small town areas are having to add on water and sewer capacity to handle them...
