Ft. Mac still has work and a lot of the people there are migrant workers anyway and just go back out east when their contracts run out.
Red Deer is a service town for all the O&G economic activity between Northern and Southern Alberta. A lot of people are permanent residents with no where to go when the economy tanked.
