Total Amount of People That Work in Oil and Gas

Not a very smart comment by him considering the industry is already struggling

It’s OK, because OMB.

It's almost 10% of the entire US economy, I think...


ps - they can all get jobs running the windmills.

Didnt he also tell miners to learn how to code?

And the trickle down from these people and all of the associated businesses is huge

Exactly, that’s what these Democrats do not understand. It’s just like his position with taxes, “I will only raise the tax on those making 400K or more”. Well, guess who that impacts in the end? It trickles down to the middle class.

Total amount? Are you wanting the combined weight of all the folks?

The typical number I've been told it's for every direct employee of chem plants, oil refineries, and offshore accounts for 10 jobs in the community

Don't forget that people that work in those jobs that have spouses or other family members how that will affect them. That is such a massaive amount of people to impact negatively. That is just the way the left works.

That’s insane. This whole climate change shite was made up by the Democrats as a pandering technique to their base and now it has morphed into something that could actually happen if they gain power.

Industry supports 9.8 million jobs or 5.6 percent of total U.S. employment,

That's a 2011 number...since 2014 I'd bet that number, at least on the E&P and midstream side, is 1/2 of what it was. The IB's have had pretty significant layoffs, too. PE is next in line to get crushed. Chemicals is probably solid except for covid slowdown and some related cuts. I couldn't guess what the numbers are now but it isn't close to 9.8MM or 5.6% and it won't match those numbers again.
