The impact of the oil & gas boom affects a myriad of industries and suppliers. The oil and gas boom is producing millions of jobs with the hydrocarbon sector creating jobs faster than Silicon Valley according to according to Investors Business Daily. Employment is up 40% in the oil and gas fields since the recession began in late 2007. Every one of the 10 states like Texas, Oklahoma and North Dakota where hydrocarbon production is increasing, overall employment growth has outpacing the nation. Paragon Financial offers their funding program to oil and gas suppliers from each of these states including suppliers with tax issues.
