From a CNN Money section, a podcast about a boom town in North Dakota, many people rush there to look for work in the oil companies. All of the sudden, the local strip clubs were pack with people on daily night time. Since majority of those oil workers didn't bring their families with them. In an voice interview with those strippers, they claim to make more than $2,000 to $3,000 on tips per night. That is more than a doctor made, don't you think? There were influx of application on the local strip clubs all of the sudden. I would say, "Geez, those men do get lonely sometimes." That is what women make most of the money.

Strippers always make money in boom towns, however there was not enough housing so it was very expensive to find lodging and it to very competitive so it wasn't easy for just any stripper to up and go to Williston. Meanwhile srippers in the rest of the country definitely felt the sting of the economic recession.

The adult entertainment industry will always make tons of money. It is the consistent in this country. To bad other industries are not as flourishing as that one. But the question remains, if people are out of work and are struggling with money, how could those strip clubs be packed. Think about that.

Proverb says "The neighbor's grass is greener than ours". That's way many couple cheat the others.
Yeah, I agree the crisis of economic does not has direct effect to adult entertainment. I do believe, the strippers tips higher than surgeon.
How about you ? if you have a lot of money more than you imagine......do you come to night club to have fun ? Yes, I do.

That is not about loneliness is about lacking priority when it comes to spending. I cannot imagine someone spending so much money while his family may be struggling to make ends meet. He would have spend the money going to see his wife and family instead of strippers.
