    The "I" in those acronyms is "I"nsurance. As with any insurance, your rate goes up with claims. That is the benefit of not laying off.

    Not entirely accurate. FUTA (federal unemployment taxes generally assessed at .7% of gross wages up to $7,000) rates don't change much for employers. But, the bulk of employment taxes paid by companies are state unemployment taxes (usually 2-3% of gross wages up to $7,000). The more claims filed against the company's unemployment account by former employees, the quicker the tax "deposit" paid in in prior years by the company gets used up. So, higher claims against the company can lead to an increased rate of unemployment taxes charged for state unemployment taxes to be paid by the company the following year.

    Been contemplating relocating my family to North Dakota to work in oil fields. I'm from Pennsylvania. Not sure if it's worth it with the ridiculous prices on rent.

    If the company is bankrupt you can say they're bankrupt. They can have all the trolls they want. Stating facts does not constitute libel.

    It was never worth the rent prices(during the boom anyway), that's why you always go with a company that provides housing. OP you're about 5 years too late when the gravy train was rolling through.

    Hear some drivers are making good around Virginia / PA area. Just watch some recent youtube videos of drivers in the area, its good insight. I would not move my family to ND at this time man. Just research oil / fracking industry they say it could be years before the price/barrel breaks 90.00usd. Most companies cant survive under $70.oo / barrel. If you were single it would be different but man you have to provide for that family. Find stability and job security.
    Prices will bounce eventually and its just a matter of time / politics. When the ticker hits 100/barrel, then move up their!
