Yeah energy industry is really booming in the Dakotas, I have a neighbor that's up there working making some great money. Just paid cash for a brand new truck...must be nice. I've worked jobs with similar labor and daily exertion making much less money.
As for Mississippi, the biggest growing industries are aerospace and automotive. Both of which MSU has helped recruit to MS. Raytheon just opened a huge facility in Forest to produce early warning radar systems for the military. Eurocopter is producing helicopters for the Army at GTR airport, and Nissan has one of the largest auto plants in North America, at Canton. Toyota just opened their plant near Tupelo. That's just a handful.

Yeah but you have to live in North Dakota for a spell. Like offshore work, you're paid for the terrible location. If you can suck it up for a year though, best money you can get at without some very specialized education.

I feel like that plant was suppose to open for at least five years now.
I'm rooting like hell for Mississippi. Y'all are just starting from farther behind than any of us.
