Hundreds Seek North Dakota Employment Following Rock Central -- Brian Williams Report -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Link here.
Last week’s story about the oil boom in Williston, N.D., led to a surge of phone calls, e-mails, job applications, and even some hires.

Matt Grimshaw, the CEO of Mercy Medical Center, says the response was incredible: within minutes of the broadcast, the medical center’s job website began receiving a higher volume of applications.

“In a normal week we would have 100 applicants, in the past week we have had 800 submitted applications.” Grimshaw told NBC News.

Since last Monday, Mercy Medical Center has conducted 40 phone interviews with candidates from all over the country and has hired six applicants who applied after learning about Rock Center’s report.
My advice: Williston is saturated for the moment with regard to housing (lack of housing).

Folks looking for work in North Dakota should look for opportunities in Bismarck, Fargo, Minot, Dickinson, and Calgary,, in that order.

[Just joking about Calgary: for newbies, Calgary is not located in North Dakota. It's a bit northwest of here, in Alberta, Canada.]

By the way, this will be the theme song if EPA shuts down fracking in North Dakota:

But our good times are all gone,
I'm bound to moving on.
I'll look forward to if I'm ever back this way.

Think I'll go out to Alberta
Where there's good weather in the fall
I've got some friends who I can work for.
Still ND wishes the EPA would change its mind
If only ND would ask you one more time.
But we've been through that 100 times or more.
But our good times are all gone.
