I work for an agchem company and we have locations in North Dakota and eastern Montana. We can’t begin to hire truck drivers to deliver our products.....everyboy’s gone to the oil patch.

If anyone here does not have a job, they don't want one. Everyone is short handed, especially retail and fast food.

Housing is short, too, but there are a lot of places up for sale (and yes, the local market is inflated compared to a few years ago--but not out of line with national averages.)
