Strippers working in Williston, North Dakota are raking in thousands of dollars a night in tips! Their customers are making it rain like nowhere else!
Why? Strippers are watching their salaries skyrocket as thousands of men move to Williston, North Dakota looking for high-paying jobs working for oil companies.
Strippers claim that they can make $2,000 to $3,000 a night in tips — more than in typical strip club hot spots like Las Vegas — dancing for the oil rig workers, many of whom moved to the town without their families.
Word of their success has spread and now applications are pouring in to the town’s strip clubs from women working as far away as Hawaii and Germany.
Though the stripper economy in Williston may seem particularly extreme, women are flocking to jobs dancing in strip clubs and posing in adult magazines elsewhere as well. Employers in the adult entertainment industry say they are seeing an influx in job applicants thanks to the down economy.
Still, the down economy hasn’t hurt the strip club industry in many locations. On some nights in British Columbia, strippers pull in less than half of what they used to make thanks in large part to the economic downturn and the rise of internet porn, according to The Vancouver Sun. In Tampa some strip club owners reported in 2008 that their business dropped 25 percent as potential patrons had less money to spend in a down economy.
