The unemployment rates in North Dakota and Wyoming are low because not many people want to live there. The climates in those places are filtering out erstwhile job-seekers who don't like the cold weather. You're trying to take credit for an economic phenomenon that is really a climate phenomenon. The unemployment rate in ND has pretty much ALWAYS been low (or least, for a long while) because even in hard times there are labor shortages. And there are labor shortages because they have a hard time recruiting people due to the cold weather.
Many people in North Dakota and Wyoming likely think 3 or 4 months of bitter cold is a small price to pay not to live in inner-city filth and to have extremely well-run government that big spends bigger than most blue states but taxes very little.
I guess because of the cold weather and few people moving in but with all those natural resources and agriculture they get stable communities, very low crime, labor shortages with high-wages for service workers, low wait times in hospitals, single-digit minute commute times for many, excellent schools and universities with very small classroom sizes.
Your absolutely right they always, always have low unemployment rates. It has been that way since they collect the data.
I am sure North Dakotans prefer labor shortages as opposed to competing with millions of illegal aliens for jobs.
I think it is really nice the economic boom that is starting up in Wyoming and North Dakota thanks to President Trump rolling back stupid environmental regulations that Obama implemented.
The good people and companies of North Dakota and Wyoming drilling and extracting a storm so California and Western state liberals can sit in traffic with gas guzzler SUV's.
I personally like it when the energy prices are moderately high because it mainly benefits Republican states and more rural states except for Texas.
I have been in North Dakota and Wyoming for vacations on many occasions and nothing better than two states with American values extracting oil and natural gas for big city liberals to sit in traffic with.
Obama did all he could to punish good states like North Dakota and Wyoming who are the future of America with their natural gas and oil reserves.
Nothing more patriotic than drilling up a storm in North Dakota and Wyoming and state governments who vote Republican swimming in money while our country is more and more independent when it comes to our home grown energy supply.
If you like it so much volunteer to pay $1 a gallon extra everytime you fill up.

Uh, you gave us links to 1) the rising price of oil, and 2) a cold wave sending natural gas prices up. As for #1, if Trump was doing such a great job encouraging oil production, prices would be going DOWN, not up. As for #2, the weather in New England has exactly what to do with Trump ... ?
Liberal states like NY, CA, IL, NJ, and MA struggle with small 1-2% increases in GDP while conservative North Dakota expands at a ferocious 8% pace. Wyoming is also growing at 8% with Texas and Oklahoma at 6%. It seems like the way to grow your state is to go conservative.
Those great plains states that get Chinook winds are some of the best 4 seasons climate if you dont mind some brown....plus you know, the weed. North Dakota has oil but otherwise sucks unless they get full marijuana legalization passed.
CA has the fifth largest economy in the world valued nearly at $2.5 trillion. Wyoming has one of the lowest total GDPs out of all 50 states valued at less than $100 billion. Wake me up when Wyoming's economy grows 25x larger. The problem with growth rates is that you're not saying anything what that growth rate is relative to. It's much harder to grow a $2.5 trillion economy by 8% than a puny one valued at less than $100 billion. Even ND's economy is worth less than $100 bn.
Oil boom states boom when the oil price goes up. News at 11.
