The common perception that follows a small community like Williston is that careers are not competitive when it comes to pay. That’s just not true. As the surge in the North Dakota energy industry continues, oil field companies are aggressively trying to fill the demand for workers.

However, oil field careers are not the only thing in demand in Williston. With the influx in growth comes an increase in demand for additional products and services. Good paying careers are currently available in the areas of Education, Medical/Health, Tourism, Agriculture, Construction, Electrical, Transportation, Retail, Insurance, Administration, City Government, Social Services, IT Technical, and Financial.
