Basin couple seeks extended unemployment relief for oil jobs
Nobles, 51, and wife Ann, 48, urge united action to win extended unemployment benefits for oil industry workers. After a $300 check this month, they face only $25 monthly food stamps for a family of four and fear lasting hardship as oil demand and prices fall. They moved from Golden to Permian Basin seeking lower costs and hope JOB Training Partnership Act programs will yield work.

Crude Output Drops in October as U S Production Falls

Grandfalls creates work plan to help pay bills blessing says city official
Grandfalls launched a work payment program in August allowing unemployed residents to perform city tasks to settle overdue utility bills. City Secretary Marilyn Thurman called it a blessing for both the city and residents as about 6 percent of the 622-population have participated, with roughly 20 percent of accounts behind on payments. Mayor Mark Kuhn noted the program as a way to avoid hiring extra staff while addressing city needs amid oil industry reliance and rising unemployment.
