Growing up in a small oil town, it's a scary business to be in. Things are boom and bust, and unless you are essential you can get dropped right off. Everything in the town was so dependent on oil, and it was booming in the late 80s and started going bust when the price of oil dropped in the early 90s, then back up and back down again around 97, then back up.
