I am in high tech. I move about every 5 years. During the Reagan-Bush years I worked in defense. In the Clinton years I worked in manufacturing. Now I am in Oregon working in high-tech/semiconductors.

It is not unusual for a workforce to have to follow the work. Many manufacturing jobs have left this country, and those people had to deal. Why is it that natural resources workers feel entitled to a job and a certain lifestyle without moving? This applies to timber, fisheries, mining and so on. When your work moves or disappears, you move to where there is work.
