All those willing to pay the going rate.
“What about Comfort women ?”
Probably the highest paid job about there.
Description: Gyrodata is seeking a Wireline Assistant to assist Wireline Coordinator and the Wireline Department by handling tasks that they are unable to complete due to activity level.
•Ability to lift 50 pounds
•Ability to stand for 16 hours
•Ability to sit for 16 hours
•Traversing a staircase multiple times for up to 16 hours
•Grasp and hold hand tools and other types of equipment
•Be able to function mentally and physically with lack of sleep
Unfortunately, I have no aptitude for engineering, and I am probably too old to be considered for an entry level rig job, unless they are really desparate for workers. If there is something I could do there, I would give it serious thought.
Didn’t you see the last entry: “stimulation supervisor.”
Yeah but read it a “simulation” it never registered
There’s got to be a secondary economy also that supports these folks ...all sorts of good and services would be needed.
With oil come jobs. Williston and its surrounding areas have generated over 75,000 new jobs, and average annual wages have more than tripled in the past decade, going from $24,841 in 2002 to $78,364 today. For those in the oil field, who typically work long overtime hours, the average wage in the state is $112,462. The state now has 22,000 more jobs than people looking for work.
Nearly every business in town has “Help Wanted” signs and has raised wages to attract employees. McDonald’s started offering $300 signing bonuses, and the hourly pay for a cashier position at Walmart starts at $17.50, twice as much as the same position in other locations. And if a jobseeker can snag a job in the oil industry, they can make over $100,000 with no college degree.

How to Find a Job in the North Dakota Oil Boom

Hey I like your tag line!
You are in Ross ND? That is the site of the first mosque in the US if not north America! Here’s a really cool blog about it: http://30mosques.com/archive2010/2010/09/day-22-ross-north-dakota-a-leap-in-time/
The Wireline Techs worked long hours out in the field, heat, cold, wind, tough crew. Good Men. O.K. Pay.
The Rig Hands had to do all the heavy lifting while the Operators ran the Wireline Truck.
Rig Hands could work their way up to operator, if they were sharp. The title for entry level wireline techs was “Worm”.
I recognized where some of the pictures in your link. I don’t knw where the mosque is and the cemetery either but I plan to find them...just curious
My wife and I are fulltime RV’ers and spend a few months a year working as oilrig gate guards here in south Texas. You can tell how much the rig hands make by the trucks they drive.
The rig hands normally work 7 days at 12 hours a day and then they’re off for 7 days. A ‘newbie’ will come in as a trainee, usually riding with someone else. He’ll work a couple of shifts, then at the start of his 3rd shift, i.e. after about a month, he drive up in a new $40,000 pickup.
Must be nice.
The current unemployment rate in North Dakota is 3%.
My son is on a Eagle Ford spread. He is Chief Inspector. They pay him $900/day. Not bad beans.
