Claims about North Dakota

If you have a license and no criminal record, you can get a six-figure trucking job almost overnight.

The article is here, hat tip goes to Garett Jones on Twitter.  If your response is: “How many of the unemployed could get work in North Dakota?” you have missed the point.

You can find some of the ads here, and more broadly here.  My poking around showed that some of them start at 75k a year, though with raises for good performance.  It is also required that you have no DUI convictions.  The sense of community is strong and the State Capitol is an Art Deco masterpiece.  You can get Canadian TV.  What more could anyone want?
