Types of companies that will be affected by the moritorium

We all know the oil companies will be severely impacted by the moritorium. What other types of companies will be affected. I will start the list:
1. Supply boats
2. Helicopter supply companies
3. Drilling fluid companies (though they made a fortune during the "top kill" attempt.

When gas prices go up as a result of the moratorium, every company and ultimately every person in this country will be affected. Whether you use oil or not, prices of most goods will increase if fuel goes up.

The question is, what will the net job increase/decrease be? Will the increase in clean up jobs surpass the number of lost production jobs? However, there will be a gap between the end of clean up and the resume of production.
I work in exploration and I can say, we aren't losing any business over this. Companies are simply moving resources to international waters or overseas. I do feel bad because I am sure we all know someone or is that someone that works in production. If its any help, we are hiring for our crews (28/28).

Short term it may be ok, but long term the cleaning jobs will go away.

Exactly, there will be a gap. How long? Who knows...

My fiancee' works on a production platform and his job seems safe (for now) but I will not deny I am nervous. I know a lot of good men who want to work but this moritorium is going to really hurt them.
I was on a flight this week with Congressman Boustany and we discussed it at length. He said all of the Congressmen and Senators from LA are fighting like hell to get it recinded but the "powers that be" are not budging.
I think someone needs to compile the data on all of the type of companies affected and the number of employees affected and the $$$$$ that will be lost to try to open these people's eyes. They just do not get how this is going to crush so many companies not just the oil companies/workers.

Chouest is talking about laying off over 60% of its workforce in the next two months. That's over 4000 people.

Everyone is missing the largest sector of layoffs:
State and local government employees
State university faculty & teachers
Baton Rouge is going to really experience an economic disaster because of the loss of these government jobs and contracts associated with state and local government. Try looking at a 2-3 billion dollar tax hit to the state coffers.
