More local gas industry jobs going to out-of-state workers

EVANS CITY, Pa. -
For nearly a decade, the natural gas industry has promised and delivered thousands of jobs to western Pennsylvania residents.

But Action News Investigates has learned more and more of those jobs are now going to workers from out of state.

There were cars from Texas, Wyoming, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and other states but only a handful from Pennsylvania.

The influx of out-of-state workers began in June when MarkWest brought in a non-union contractor, Bilfinger Westcon, of North Dakota.
