CNNMoney— Believe it or not, a place exists where companies are hiring like crazy, and you can make $15 an hour serving tacos, $25 an hour waiting tables and $80,000 a year driving trucks.
You just have to move to North Dakota. Specifically, to one of the tiny towns surrounding the oil-rich Bakken formation, estimated to hold anywhere between 4 billion and 24 billion barrels of oil.

Oil companies have only recently discovered ways to tap this reserve. And along with the manpower needed to extract the oil, the town is now scrambling to find workers to support the new rush of labor. Read More

As the concert business rebounded in 2011, touring remained the biggest source of income for the top earners in the U.S. music business.

According to CNN Money, the median household wealth of blacks was a mere $5,677 in 2009, just 5 percent of the $113,149 median wealth of whites, according to the Pew Research Center.

Pew Research Center found that in 2010, black families made up 38.8 percent of the shelter populations, but only 12.3 percent of the population overall.

That means 1 in every 141 black families stayed in a homeless shelter in 2010.

White families, on the other hand, occupied 28.6 percent of shelter beds, while they account for 63.7 percent of all American families in 2010. Only 1 in 990 white families stayed in a shelter that year.

Black families are also more likely to be in poverty than their white counterparts. In 2010, nearly one-quarter of black families were poor, compared to 7.1 percent of white families.

A web entrepreneur who had it all by the time he was 21 managed to blow his staggering $2.5million fortune in just 12 months.

Andrew Fashion dropped out of high school to live the high life – his monthly $100,000 pay packet seeing him buy a plush Los Angeles house and several top-of-the-line sports cars.

He played high-stakes poker in Las Vegas, flew to London, Florida and Hawaii, and bought all the latest tech gadgets.

But within just one year his websites, which gave users the tools to ‘design’ their MySpace pages, fell out of favour and the cash GWOP dried up.
