My friends a plumber and moved there a few months ago, he had his pick of jobs. He has no desire to work out of the city because of a young family but he's getting top dollar and got to make all kinds of demands when he started. He's not making the kind of money there making on the rigs but he's making substantially more then he was here with better hours (home every night for dinner) and benefits. He and his wife are both loving it there, I went a few weeks ago with my wife to check it out but that city just isn't for me. I can see why many people like it there though.
