Dunn County May Have To Raise Pay to Keep County Road Crews -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Link here (regional links break early).
Dunn County officials discussed increasing road department wages during a meeting at the Dunn County Courthouse on Wednesday morning. 
The increase was proposed to make the road department more efficient in the wake of turnover and competition with energy jobs, officials said.
Auditor Reinhard Hauck said that road department wages start at $16 per hour and reach around $21 after five years experience.
I have a comment but will hold it for now.
