NEW MARTINSVILLE, W.Va. -- Jobs with natural gas drilling companies appear to be in great demand.
Hundreds of people lined up Wednesday in Marshall County to talk with nine recruiters from Oklahoma-based Chesapeake Energy.
Chesapeake is among the companies rushing to tap the reserves of the Marcellus shale gas field.
Development coordinator Ryan Dean says no jobs were filled immediately, but the eastern region offers work for people with a variety of experience. Jobs range from pumpers, field technicians and rig hands to truck drivers, air equipment operators, mechanics and diesel engine technicians.
Welders Shawn Long and Eric Westbrook of Middlebourne say the gas industry is one of few offering opportunities these days.
Chesapeake currently employs 630 West Virginians.
