It is, and all the related jobs. Absolutely. You're right. It's not the drilling jobs, but it's the hotel jobs and it's the restaurant jobs. I've got manufacturers right now that are sitting with jobs that they can't fill. We hear a lot about unemployment, but these are good jobs. They pay a significant amount of money per hour with good benefits. It's a great employer, and they're sitting there with these job openings, looking for folks to fill them. Now, some of the people they've had working for them have moved on into the gas field, and they've created new opportunities. So producing domestic energy produces domestic jobs, and it's so important.
