As another note ... The Wall Street Journal did an article partially about Williston, ND and partially about other areas with massive economic growth, such s South Texas and parts of Pennsylvania.
With well over 10,000 jobs available out here in the Williams County, Williston area alone... I guess it says somethign that the "Occupy" folks haven't packed up and moved to South TX, or Western ND, or vraious parts of PA.
Many of these jobs don't even really require much, if any, formal education. Many of these jobs pay well enough to be into the 25%, or higher, of the pay scale for most Americans (enough to make me consider jumping ship to corporate practice). Heck, there are guys out here with high school educations making 50%, or more, above what I make; I'm about $20K over the national average right now. Of course, whether these guys actually save anything is another story.
There is intense job growth in places not quite so harsh as ND, South TX and parts of PA. Can guarantee if they were to land a job, and the minimum qualifications, which at least in this area are breathing and having a pulse, they'd make far more than being on the government dole.
