With the development of industries such as shale rock, tar sands, and deep water drilling in the United States and Canada, the oil and gas industry in North America has been booming. It is predicted that the U.S. oil production could outpace Saudi Arabia and that North America could become an exporter of energy across the globe. Since this industry is still being developed there are countless open positions from construction to the production of oil and gas itself.
Historically the United States has always had a shortage of labor. The country’s economic output is always greater than its ability to recruit the skilled labor that is needed to keep up with demand for US goods and services. This is why the United States has always required immigration to provide the labor. Most Americans have a negative birth rate, and without young people, industry cannot keep up.
