What Fiscal Cliff? For Job Seekers in the Energy Sector, It's Going to Be Like Fishing in a Barrel - Booming!

Does the U.S. economy need to drive off the fiscal cliff?

Not if the President keeps his word!  The President has the power to see the United States file for bankruptcy or to become a leading competitor to Saudi Arabia and other major energy producing companies.  He can do this by approving additional drilling permits in the U.S. as he promised on the campaign trail.  This will allow the U.S. to become energy self sufficient, changing the balance of power around the world.  It is estimated that there are  millions of barrels of oil and trillions of cubic feet of natural gas.  Billions of dollars could go to the federal government, replenishing the treasury, and employment would increase exponentially all across our nation.

There is an oil boom in North Dakota...and that boom may be coming to a city near you!

It's not the first oil boom to hit North Dakota, but it's undoubtedly the biggest. North Dakota has quickly become one of the largest oil-producing states in the country. The Bakken has brought thousands of people to North Dakota and billions of dollars in state revenue.
 
Since 2010, North Dakota's population has increased by more than 36,000 people. While most of that growth is in oil country. The average salary nationwide is approximately $40,000.  In North Dakota the average salary is $90,000.

It's a busy time to be a builder in the Bismarck-Mandan area. More people are moving into the area and there simply aren't enough homes on the market for them all.  The top two cities benefiting from drilling only be described as an oil “gold rush,” and several cities on our list are in Oklahoma and Texas, traditional center of the nation’s energy economy.

All that is needed for the nation to enjoy the benefits of this boom is for the President to keep his word.  The question is, will he?
