Columbus does well but, and I can really only speak for Youngstown on this, all the ex steel workers and other blue collar laborers are all going to work with the fracking companies. And a rising tide floats all boats, construction companies get work building plants. Trucking companies get work supplying materials. Local diners and stores get the boost of a steadily empolyed buyer base and even hotels have been cropping up around the plants.

 

The success of the cruze has really helped as well since we build that here. 

So it's kind of the same thing that is happening to North Dakota? They are getting the same affect; Industrial Jobs -> More people -> more Restaraunts -> More Money for the Economy.
