Hey folks, if you are in need of a job, ND is the place to move. The above link to a story about the economy in ND is fascinating. Having lived in that state for two year (USAF Grand Forks) gives me a good idea of what it is like to live there. One of the last paragraphs in this article tells of one of the problems getting people to move to the state. The average winter temperature is 4 below. What isn't mentioned in the article is that the summers can be just as harsh, albeit shorter. Temps over 100 are not unusual and upper 90's is a given each summer. Humidity is no problem so those hot days don't make you sweat very much, but you feel as though you are in an oven. The winters are what are special up there though. Yes, four below is cold, but people up there are used to it and are well equipped for those temps. Cars have engine heaters in them and many public parking lots have electrical outlets to plug in the cars. A parka or two or three is as normal as shorts in the summer. You might be surprised at how much outdoor activity goes on in the winter. One excellent advantage is that one doesn't need a deep freezer from the months of October through April as a cardboard box on the back porch will work just fine. Unemployment has never dropped below 5% since 1987. If you are looking for work, this is the place to head towards.
