People of North Dakota, I request some information. If you would be so kind.

Even if you can't help could you please up vote this so it can get noticed, I would greatly appreciate it.

I work in Construction, I have been hearing of this North Dakota "OIL BOOM" that is going on around the Bismarck/Williston area a lot lately. I have friends telling me they are building houses there like crazy and are selling them faster then they can build them and contractors there are begging for workers.

I did some research and found several news articles and videos but they are all fairly old (6 months). I can't find anything RECENT.

What I want to know is are the rumors true? How is construction there? Any information would be helpful because I am ready to pick up and move somewhere else because work has dried up pretty much where I am.
