Natural Gas Boom Fueling Growth of New Jobs in Wyoming

By: Mick, December 28th, 2006

Wyoming created new jobs faster than any other state in the country in November, due in large part to huge growth in the natural gas industry in that state. BP has recently announced that the company will invest over $2 Billion in the coming years to tap into the natural gas fields in southern and western Wyoming. Although new jobs are being filled every day, the demand for experienced labor is currently much greater than the supply. Independent trucking companies are flourishing in Wyoming as larger companies are struggling to find housing to attract new hires to the area.

This would seem to be a fantastic opportunity for both job seekers with trucking and/or natural gas equipment experience and any recruiters that work in these industries.
