1. Bakken Workforce Housing Makes Workers Life Easy
The oil in this region was first discovered in a farm in Tioga, North Dakka and is named Bakken after
Henry Bakken the owner of the farm on which the oil was discovered. Due to the potential of the oil,
many companies have set up oil rigs in this region. This has attracted people to this region and even the
company need workers to work in this oil rigs .But the main problem was accommodation. The rent of
the houses has increased triple the amount over the last few years. Bakken Workforce housing was
perfect solution for this housing shortage.
In Bakken workforce housing rooms or facilities are provided by the industries to those workers who
work in oil rigs and mine fields. This is very convenient for the workers because this housing will be very
close to their working place and they don’t need to make any long term investment. Most of them come
to this place to make money because they may not be getting sufficient in their home town. This kind of
temporary housing also provides food. Thus Bakken workforce housing helps them to save more money
because they don’t need to go out or do any shopping for food. They have everything they need here.
Some of the housings have strict rules.
They don’t allow alcohol, drugs and smoking. In some places families and even pets are not allowed. This
helps these workers to lead a simple and happy life. But everyone cannot cope up with this kind of life.
The long hours of hard work slowly will take toll on some of the workers. It depends on the
determination of each worker on how to withstand it. There is no way to take out their frustrations.
Some of the workers may easily give up. As their work is already so tiresome, it is the responsibility of
the company to provide at least accommodation for them with good facilities.
