While the national economy continues to face strong headwinds, especially in terms of job creation, the region’s natural gas industry is helping to create literally tens of thousands of good jobs at a time when they’re most needed. In fact, according to a recent USA Today article, “Since 2002, the exploration of natural gas deposits embedded in shale…has created more than 1 million jobs, says Moody’s Analytics economist Chris Lafakis.” Best of all, natural gas-related jobs run the gamut: from well-site jobs to trucking to landscaping to manufacturing and beyond. Jobs for all education levels are available now, too.
