2月份美國油氣工業增加數千個工作崗位
中國石化新聞網訊 據RZNews.com網站3月11日休斯敦報道，根據美國勞工統計局3月9日公布的統計數據，美國石油和天然氣工業在2月份增加了數千個工作崗位。
統計數據顯示，美國2月份采礦業增加了9000個工作崗位，其中油氣開采行業增加了1100個工作崗位。美國2月份采礦業增加的大部分工作崗位來自支持活動。
自2016年10月達到最近的低點以來，美國采礦業迄今增加了6.9萬個工作崗位。
在過去一年半里，美國大部分行業就業出現了穩步增加，這在很大程度上應歸功于頁巖熱遠景區（例如二疊紀）的鉆井活動增加。3月2日，美國在用鉆機數在過去近3年里首次增加到了800部。
盡管顯著減少，然而減員的聲明仍然存在。作為公司最近宣布的削減成本戰略的一部分，SandRidge能源公司日前把其位于俄克拉荷馬城總部的雇員削減了80個。

US Jobs Report: Oil, Gas Jobs Added in February|
The oil and gas industry in the United States added thousands of jobs in February, according to data released March 9 from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Employment in mining increased by 9,000. More specifically, jobs in oil and gas extraction (which fall under the mining categorization) increased by 1,100. The bulk of the mining employment came from support activities.
Since reaching a recent low in October 2016, mining has added 69,000 jobs.
Industry employment for the most part has increased steadily the last year-and-a-half, thanks in large part to the uptick in drilling activity in hot shale plays like the Permian. And on March 2, the rig count rose to 800 for the first time in almost three years.
Though significantly fewer, layoff announcements are still present. SandRidge Energy Inc. laid off 80 employees at its Oklahoma City headquarters as part of the company’s recently announced strategy to cut costs.
