BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - North Dakota officials are sending a plea to people across the country: We need you. Officials say, there are some 25,000 more jobs than takers in all industries in the state.
The state's unprecedented oil bonanza has made it the economic darling of the nation — boasting a sturdy economy, a state government budget surplus, and its highest population ever, as swarms of people have migrated to North Dakota.
The $800,000 campaign is being paid for equally by tax-supported state funds and a donation by Hess Corp., a New York based Oil Company.
North Dakota has the lowest unemployment rate in the nation, at less than 3 percent. It is leading the nation in population growth and the number of residents in the state is at an all-time high, at more than 725,000 people, according to the Census Bureau.
The surge in economic activity and population growth has come largely from oil. The state has gone from the nation's ninth-biggest oil producer in 2006 to the second, behind only Texas. The turnaround in the state's fortunes began about seven years ago, reversing a more than 70-year trend of migration out, when more people were going than coming.
