West Virginia's Marcellus Boom

Pennsylvania's not the only state that's benefitting from the Marcellus Shale. According to a study by West Virginia University's 'Bureau of Business and Economic Research', drilling operations helped pump $2.3 billion into West Viginia's economy in 2009. The report generated by the group also states that Marcellus activity helped generate 7,600 jobs, $298 million in worker pay benefits, and $14.5 million in tax revenues.
