Fuel card news: Oil production helps community escape recession
|
02 March, 10 Oil production in North Dakota has helped a run-down area get through a tough economic climate. Unemployment in the state was five percentage points below the US average in December, at 4.3 per cent, according to the Wall Street Journal. Local ranchers have been turned into millionaires by selling oil companies access to oil underneath their properties. In some areas of North Dakota the oil production has even created a labour shortage. In Dickinson, McDonald's has been offering people $300 in bonuses when they sign to work for the food giant. Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, local Pam Reckard said: "Who expected oil? It's just, 'oh, gee whiz, oil!'" The website OilJobFinder claims that each new well in the Bakken Formation in North Dakota creates more than 100 jobs. Oil producers will have even more market options in North Dakota after a new oil pipeline, announced in January, is installed. Posted by Tammy Brooks
