More than 10K Jobs Lost in North Dakota’s Oil Patch Last Year By Amy R. Sisk, The Bismarck Tribune | March 16, 2021 The coronavirus pandemic has had a significantly negative impact on North Dakota’s oil and gas industry, resulting in the shedding of thousands of jobs last year. The oil industry’s recovery has been slow. Job Service data show that North Dakota’s biggest oil-producing counties lost well over 10,000 jobs last year. Their unemployment rate at the end of 2020 was 7.9%, up from 1.8% a year earlier and higher than the current statewide average of 4.1%. Meanwhile, some employers are trying to help oil patch workers hang on while the industry recovers. Kyle Ostrand found himself looking up townhouses in Williston, trying to talk his workers into becoming roommates after the oil price collapsed last year.
