Halliburton to Hire 11,000 In 2011

Haliburton's Brown Talks to Cramer

Mad Money host Jim Cramer talks to Halliburton's Jim Brown about new technologies that are allowing oil drillers to access new oil fields.

Energy company Halliburton plans to hire 11,000 workers in North America in 2011, a top executive told Cramer Wednesday.

Jim Brown, president of Western Hemisphere, 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 U.S. history and where Cramer broadcast a special episode of "Mad Money" on Wednesday. Brown said Halliburton is currently hiring across the board--from MBAs to unskilled workers.

"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," Brown said. "It's a tremendous opportunity. You gotta come to North Dakota, but what we're doing here, we're replicating across the nation."
