Unemployment Plunges; Labor Shortage to Worsen Due to US Energy Revolution with Approval of Keystone XL: President Says Energy Revolution Unprecedented; Keystone XL Was a Godsend for Jobs; Just The Beginning; Welders, Geologists In Short Supply

No, we did not see that headline. Rather, we saw the permitorium and the killing of Keystone XL.

Meanwhile, the real headline: Labor Crunch to Worsen for Australia's Burgeoning LNG Industry
The world is entering a "golden age of gas" with Australia set to be a key contributor to it.
With seven world-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects in the country currently under construction, it is clear that Australia is positioning itself to emerge as the leading player in the global LNG market.

Despite Australia's ascendancy in the global LNG sector, concerns about the country's ability to attract and retain a skilled and capable workforce have started surfacing.
Yup.

Australia, unlike the US, is going full-steam ahead to provide jobs for its citizens. Good for them.

From wiki, a map of natural gas pipelines criss-crossing the United States.  The Sandhills in Nebraska are in the western half of the state.
