Actually a lot of people are starting to migrate again to locations where there are mining, oil, and natural gas jobs.
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy how many people moved to get these opportunities that were for the most part not that great to begin with. The sad part was that these "opportunities" was better than what they were living with before they all moved. I cannot even imagine living in a place like this country was on the western half during this time period and just picking up everything and leaving on a chance.
