The Canton Repository is reporting that the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services has started issuing quarterly reports on the impact of shale development on the Ohio economy. From the first report: "Employment rose 17 percent in core shale industries — pipeline construction and well drilling — between early 2011 and early 2012. Meanwhile, employment in ancillary industries — freight trucking, environmental consulting — increased 3.1 percent." More? "Average salary in core shale industries was $73,934 per year, while ancillary industries average $58,765 annually."
Nice.
