That certainly is one positive aspect of a slow-down in the oil patch.
Not only there, but also in other fields....retail, public works....lots of other work that can't be done because people are going for the higher wages.
But also realize that Alberta is still growing....massively...and eventually not 'everyone' will head for the oil patch.
It will get better with time.
