Midland County Jail is Now Hiring Jailers
The Midland County Jail is short approximately 12 jailers thanks in part to the oil boom.
According to NewsWest 9, some jailers have had to leave because of the price of housing and apartments in the area as well as being offered better paying jobs in the oilfield.
This makes all the industries outside of oil seeking workers constantly and forcing their current employees to work overtime, double, or split shifts to compensate for the lack of employees.
