API Study Highlights Job Creation Potential in Ohio Fracking Regions
What happened
An American Petroleum Institute study suggested potential job creation in Noble County, Ohio. Residents in eight Ohio counties, including Noble County, stated that the promise of more jobs from fracking operations has not been met. The study noted that while generating natural gas produces substantial revenue, the need for workers has declined since 2006 due to advancements in microseismic technology.
