Certainly in Northern Alberta and BC the jobs are available in the oil and gas industry. As for business in Calgary, most of the service side of the industry is claiming to be very busy. What this means is that the crews they have are very busy, but lots of the iron they have is still sitting idle. Many companies are worried about hiring back more crews to run more rigs/equipment while things are busy knowing full well they will be laying guys off again in the spring.
