Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) plans to hire 11,000 workers in North America in 2011, according to a top executive who told Jim Cramer on CNBC's Mad Money on Wednesday.
The president of the Western Hemisphere, Jim Brown said many of the new hires will be sent to North Dakota's oil-rich Bakken shale, which is one of the largest oil finds in the U.S.
Brown commented, "If you have a willingness to work and an aptitude to learn with a high school education, within a year-and-a-half to two years, you can become a front-line supervisor. That job will pay $125,000 to $130,000 a year. It's a tremendous opportunity. You gotta come to North Dakota, but what we're doing here, we're replicating across the nation."
Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) has a potential upside of 79.6% based on a current price of $40.27 and an average consensus analyst price target of $72.31.
