big natural gas boom happened up there a while back pretty much ruined the job market for regular jobs mcdonalds starts at 20 bucks an hour in some areas, your average pipeliner makes 150-200k a year in ND

Same goes for west texas in the oil industry. Waffle house employees make like 15-17 an hour in odessa/midland area. Rarely can you find a room open at the bigger motel/hotels. Always filled with company trucks.

Back when I did physician recruiting, ND and states that arent as "desirable" paid out the ASS for doctors. Even Family Practice doctors were getting 400k to start, was insane. This was of course many years ago.

Same goes for Dentists. They rake it in out in rural areas.


I'm guessing low population + oil money is the biggest reason ND is so high.

Yep... It's insane out there. I've considered trying to go out there for 2-3 years and just pack money away, come home and buy a house cash lol.

Money is great out there...but damn does it suck. Absolutely nothing out there. Only good thing is you're 5 hrs from las cruces which has great rock crawling trails.
