Right now, North Dakota is the place to be. Why? Well earlier this afternoon I was scanning the Bismarck Tribune's Sunday paper, and I came across a interesting article in the Money section. Basically, the article centered around the fact that while our nation as a whole is facing a daunting economic crisis, North Dakota seems to be floating quite safely through this economic storm. In fact, the Bismarck Tribune reports that North Dakota's unemployment numbers are holding constant; in some industries, the numbers are actually declining. North Dakota's labor statistics show an unemployment rate of 2.8 percent while the nation holds an unemployment rate of 6.5 percent. The Tribune also mentioned that certain industries within North Dakota such as health care, technical, and service/hospitality suffer from lack of workers.
What does this mean to you? As college students, our ideal goal is to be placed in a great job upon graduation, so we can start paying off those dreaded school loans. With North Dakota's swelling numbers of job opportunities, our shared goal actually seems attainable. Sweet!
If you have a few years until graduation but still want to earn some cash, don't worry. The thousands of job opportunities include part-time jobs. From retail and food service to technical jobs, the abundance is evident. Where can you find information about these jobs? Check the employment section in the Bismarck Tribune's classified ads or go to www.FindCareersNow.com for employment openings. Happy Hunting!

I noticed around the same time that on msnbc.com they had several aritcles relating to cities with lowest unemployment in the country. 2 ND cities on the lists, in the top 10 both times. Bismarck being number 1 on the second list I read the other ND city was Fargo.
