According to a recent study, the petroleum industry in North Dakota needs to hire nearly 12,000 new employees by 2010 to keep pace with the industry’s rapid growth and to replace workers scheduled to retire over the next few years. The industry expects to need an additional 3,300 new workers in 2007 alone to keep up with growth, replacements, and retirements. Industry leaders say this is good news for people looking for a job or a higher paying job in North Dakota. According to Job Service, the average yearly wage in the oil and gas industry in 2005 was $60,330. Jobs in demand include everything from equipment operators and truck drivers, to engineers and geologists. For more information on the need for workers, see the “oil industry jobs” section on this web site.
