The oil industry is expanding rapidly with no end in sight and with new companies trying to hire experienced workers the wages and benefits are getting even better.
The oil industry is booming in Alberta to?
I'm from south Texas and one of the family business is in the oilfield. I've seen it where the Texas oilman where doing so well that instead of going out and buying a new car they went out and bought a new plane. But I've also seen the industry hit the bottom of the barrel. And those same guys who where blowing and going when the money was rolling in, where filing bankrupcty and moving out of town because they were embarresed that there "empire" collapsed. Towns boom and people blow money when the oilfield is doing good, but once the price of a barrel of oil goes down, alot of those same guys are going to be looking for a new job. You know alot of oilfield people would be doing alright and be set for life even when the oilfield hits bottom if those guys wherent so arrogant with their money when its rolling in.
But I do know when the "end in sight" is going to be. Thats when Bushs term is up, especially if a Liberal or Democrat is elected to office. My prediction is that the average price per gallon at the pump when Bush gets out of office will level off to about $1.25-$1.50 and will reach spikes up to $1.80 in most of the country (and yours to I'm assuming).
I know this is all of topic, but I thought I would talk alittle "oilfield chat" with you LOL

Good hunting........
