Cant find enough roughnecks, welders, most have moved on to other jobs. Contract labor business (rent a bum trailers) are starting to pop up here and there. Unemployment is limited to the infirm and the lazy. Skilled labor rates are up as bidding wars for qualified people exist. Construction business (platform construction) has been in a little bit of a slump and hasn't seemed to pick up as much as the service sector(maintenance).
