One just recently moved from Calgary to a smaller city near me with no problems. Another nephew working for FCC in Saskatoon is doing very, very well. Oil companies even in my very small town pay huge wages to their accountants and office staff. I know, I worked with one and still do books for another part-time at home. You speak for yourself only ....... maybe you just haven't really looked into things.

And yes, it is.
