Housing in ND is a major issue
especially around Willison and Minot as I am lead to believe from
media.
Here are estimates of places to stay;
RV Parks – 1,000 – 1,250 Month
Hotels – 2,000+ Month
Homes – 4,000 + Month
Vacant housing is almost nonexistent.

Due to lack of rest stops and other
reasons the state is being littered, especially with bottles with
human waste. (3)
The employers in ND know why people
come there and are even raising their pay... take this quote for
example.
“The McDonald's in Williston is one
of the busiest in the country, and they need to pay $15 an hour just
to attract employees to work there. “ (5)
Think there is no more jobs because you
hear so many people flocking to ND....
“North Dakota has the lowest
unemployment rate across the country with about 17,500 jobs still
available, Anderson said. He said 60 percent of those openings are
outside oil and gas counties.”

I
think quick quotes get the point across quicker.
“The
first phase will provide up to 27,000 jobs in the oil industry and
another 10,000 jobs in infrastructure, with 60,000 jobs at its peak,
phasing into approximately 35,000 permanent jobs.” (8)
If you are like me and plan on going up
there without laundry and hoping the local ones up there just a heads
up, not many of them allow oil worker clothing due to the wear and
tear on their machines. (7)
