Newfoundland's oil ripple effect: As prices fall, commuting workers stay home( J8 \5 [* Z2 B- z* `$ T- w4 Y
For years, thousands of Newfoundlanders commuted back and forth to Alberta's oil patch, working three or four weeks at a time and bringing home plump paycheques. Many of them aren't going back this fall.# W8 S0 Y5 s ~5 z/ W6 R
Newfoundland有数千人来往于阿省与Newfoundland之间, 目的就是paycheques。 ) R9 r5 h$ j: p2 E3 n+ {

Darryl Day used to fly from Gander to Alberta and back — 22 days out, 13 days back home. He was recruited at a job fair in Newfoundland six years ago to drive heavy machinery for a hydraulic fracturing company. Those were the "good times."# k7 x G) y; v$ {
22天在工作,13天回家休息。

这位仁兄还算走运,在家门口找到一份工,只是钱大大的少了, 只有在阿省工作时的三分之一。 ' \3 s8 z$ o5 CDarryl and Bev Day are better off than many. He got a new trucking job nearby, earning about one-third of his pay in Alberta. They had put some of their "oil money" away, unlike some younger workers, who went cheque to cheque.
