The ONE Place in America Where Jobs are Plentiful

The ONE Place in America Where Jobs are Plentiful

·       If you haven't heard about the "North Dakota phenomenon" yet, you will soon.

The state is quickly becoming known as a modern-day version of California during the gold rush. People are flocking to the state, seeking their fortune (or at least a decent-paying job), and formerly sleepy farming towns are now booming.

And like the California Gold Rush in the 1850s, it isn't just the "prospectors" that are looking to make a buck. The boom has become so huge that prices for just about everything are on the rise. Demand for housing is so robust that they literally can't build fast enough to put roofs over people's heads. Companies and city officials are practically begging able-bodied workers to move to the state, claiming that a skilled worker can land a job within a week, sometimes within a day.

So what's causing this modern day boom? Well, unlike in the case of California, it isn't being caused by gold.
