Do you have any factual citations of this or is this just opinion?
There are articles and statistics all over the internet. Read articles from the ND newspapers, etc. This forum alone has a wealth of information. It isn't hard to find.
Walk into any business in this state and see the help wanted sign. Try to shop at Walmart and get accosted by recruiters asking you if you'd like to work at the new store opening. See the help wanted ads in the newspaper. I'm not even looking for a job and I feel like I'm inundated. (And I don't even live in the oil boom patch!) How good of a job it is depends on the job and your field, so yes, people should do research before applying to something specific.

I was accosted in Grand Forks for a professional level job. I think Grand Forks seems a tad crazier vs. Fargo in job desperation to fill jobs.

Sigh…is there any point answering a question when your best answer is " Go look for yourself?" If you don't have answer, then not answering might be best. If you answer consists of anecdotes then again, that's not really an answer.
I think that I asked a clear and direct question. I also asked for hard facts and not stories (I have stories and I know that they are just my anecdotes and nothing more). Not certain why this is so difficult to understand.

Unfortunately, I'm not up there. I was several years ago; but I am not now.
Rather than potentially waste thousands of dollars moving to a place where they MAY be work, I asked for solid evidence that there was indeed work to be had. This could be photos, links to ads, links to news stories which don't read like press releases from the local chambers of commerce,etc,.Anecdotes are not, unfortunately, evidence.
If I told you that the streets of my town were paved in gold and that a friend of mine made a fortune from removing and selling portions of it, you'd probably want a little more than me telling you that this is true. You'd want pictures of the gold, stories from impartial sources and perhaps a sample of said gold.
You probably wouldn't want stories about the gold.
I suggest you log on to the websites for the different companies. I don't know what you expect out of people. They are NOT going to do the research for you. You know your potential and you know what you are qualified to do, so log onto jobs north dakota and start looking through the ads.
People can tell you what they see, what they hear, and it's obviously not good enough for you. Nobody is going to go scan ads in the paper for you. Take a look through the threads here in the North Dakota forum, some sites are listed.
This thread is doing nothing but pissing people off, so it is done. Closed.
