False, they won't affect everyone, but they permeate to many business not associated to oil/gas.
That is why housing, steel mills, cable suppliers, heavy equipment operators, etc all feel the boom and bust. In some areas, it has drive wages for even Walmart and McDonalds...
Well.... Let me tell you what I see. I’ll give you the steel, cable and heavy equipment operators. From an interstate view, this is a boom. From a local view, when the wells are drilled and the pipe laid and the compressor stations are running, you just need the maintenance crews. Everything else moves. Now that the infrastructure to is in place that gas is flowing. But, so are the jobs. To the next drill site.
That is why I said, the jobs are not permeate. I should have added locally.
