I think you are thinking of Fort McMurray. There is such a labour shortage in the oilsands (and correspondingly high pay), that there is no one available to work fast food, build houses, or anything else really. Of course, I have also seen very similar results in resort towns for slightly different reasons: only the rich can afford to live there, so there is no poor to work the low paid jobs.
