Fast food workers in Williston, North Dakota are making right around $15.00/hr to start.

Figure 10.00 for a mid-range combo meal, rent runs between 2500.00 and 3,000.00/month (plus utilities for a 2-bedroom apartment), and a sit-down meal in most any restaurant for two is at minimum $50.00.

It isn't so bad if someone in the household has an oilfield job, but it's still nothing to live on. If you want to go into food services, get a job that makes tips...

Or become a trained chef and work for the upper class.

Just out of curiosity, what is a Big Mac going for in Williston these days?

If it's not appreciably more than someplace where they're making $7.35, they are going to win this, and pretty handily. Particularly with Santorum and Romney jumping on board.

Just sayin'
