Yea, but good luck affording a home or anything else. They are paying McDonald's burger flippers $15/hr... I'd be interested to find out how much it costs to BUY a hamburger...
I'd happily flip burgers for $15.00/hr. Shoot, a decent wage and free food can't be beat.

If you could get one of those jobs. If something sounds too good to be true it is. It is very expensive now to live there, as one poster said apts and hotel rooms are hard to find and they're charging top dollar.
The money is great but not when you're paying $7 for a gallon of milk.
Most of the jobs require people who would be young and in excellent phyiscal condition. If someone fits that description is single, rents, etc....then go for it.
If you're 26 and rent, you can pack your car and go. You can bank what you don't need to live off of.
Not so easy when you're 43, married, with 3 kids and a mortgage. You need to be able to cover your living expenses in ND, cover your expenses back home, and are you physically up to doing the labor.
This really only works on case by case basis.
And you can bet those $15 an hour insided jobs flipping burgers are only going to locals.

Why do you think they are paying $15/hr for burger flippers there??? There are not enough locals available to flip burgers. With regards to Australia and their high wage burger flipping jobs in mining towns... They are flying people from around Australia to flip burgers. I'm sure the Mcy D's in N. Dakota would be happy to hire American's from around the country to flip burgers. But why flip burgers when you can make tons more in the oil fields? A decade or two of that and you retirement would be set.
Darn, I've got manageable RA (rheumatoid arthritis), am over 50, and ... forget it.
I'll stay at my current job (for now). Beats nothing, and I've trimmed my expenses.
North Dakota. The best thing about living there is that you save money, no place to go, nothing to spend it on. If you are not from a cold area, you need to spend money on warm clothing, snow tires, head bolt heater for car, on and on...it is really cold therean true, you make good money working in the fields, ever worked a job where tools snap becasue of being cold? Now, that is cold!

They could pay $15.00 per hour everywhere and still make money and not raise prices.
