Top 20 Jobs in North Dakota - Oil Boom 2010 - 2050

North Dakota enjoys numerous productive mineral deposits, along with oil and gas fields and some manufacturing. The New Town Oil Boom is likely to continue on its Native American Reservation for decades, while the entire Bakken Oil Field covers much more land.

However, agriculture leads the state economy with grain, meat, and dairy products in cites like Fargo, Grand Forks, Minot, and Bismarck. The Missouri and Red rivers are used for irrigation and dam projects offer many jobs.The reforestation of the state has offered still more opportunities for work. Tourism and recreational facilities enjoy high customer traffic near these dams; Tourism has been that state's Number Three highest provider of income, behind 1) Agriculture and 2) Mineral production and processing (now at first place with the oil boom).

Insurance and Healthcare are also large income producers in North Dakota and offer long term careers that need to be filled. Information Technology (IT) is necessary to all forms of work and industry in the state.
