That is true, but how do these unemployed find jobs that are basically non-existent? Crude labor? Nope, the illegals own that market. Start your own business perhaps? Nope, the banks aren’t lending, and won’t lend to the unemployed. Get a degree? Nope, college graduates have to compete against the unemployed and experienced who will work for cheap to survive. The only way out is to drive the wage scales down to the countries that we outsource work to. That is the only way to keep capital from pouring out of this country. And people wonder how socialism/fascism/communism could ever gain a foothold.
They move to North Dakota or somewhere where a private land oil boom is happening. They have airports there.
There are plenty of support jobs that have nothing to do with directly touching a drilling rig.
Crude labor? Nope, the illegals own that market.
Get busy and start fingering the criminal invaders. Take those jobs back. That sounds like a job all unto itself.
