Looking For Work? They Are Hiring In North Dakota [VIDEO]

Are you wanting to make $80,000 a year? In the Williston, North Dakota area they are looking for over 500 truck drivers and they are paying very well. Employers are paying $15-18 an hour working at fast food. And if you are handy with a hammer the construction business is as busy as the oil business. It appears the only downside is the lack of housing, well that and a North Dakota winter, but in an economy where the national unemployment numbers are in excess of 9% there are many who are willing to brave the elements.
Harry Smith on the new Rock Center with Brian Williams visited Williston and talked with some of those affected by the boom happening there.
