If you live in Western North Dakota or in the Middleton, Texas area you are seeing an economic boom like never before in your lifetime.

Raw natural resources like that are finite. There's always going to be a gold rush or two at any given time. I wish I lived in North Dakota.
Hell, look at today's Silicon Valley.
But in a broader sense, I'm pretty confident that my point holds true. There are way too many idle workers and technology has made most of them obsolete. I don't see many (any?) industries that are actively looking to increase the number of people they employ and decrease the amount of machinery or technology they use.
