美国油气领域就业数两年多来首次增加

　　据国外媒体1月8日休斯敦报道，美国劳工统计局（BLS）周五（6日）公布的就业统计数据显示，美国油气生产商在去年11月份增加了工作岗位。由于钻井商因原油价格恢复开始重返钻井现场，美国油气领域在过去两年多里首次出现了月度就业增加。

　　统计数据显示，油气开采和支持服务工作岗位在11月份共增加了3300个，总数达到了38.43万个，这是2014年9月该领域创下53.61万个最多就业数以来的首次增加。

　　根据美国劳工统计局和贝克休斯公司的最新统计数据，由于美国能源公司把钻探油气钻机数从2014年10月的1609部创历史高位大幅削减到了去年5月的316部6年来低位，美国能源公司在之前的两年里先后削减了15.5万多个工作岗位。

　　U.S. oil and natural gas producers added jobs in November, the sectors first monthly employment increase in more than two years as drillers returned to the well pad due to a rally in crude prices, according to U.S. jobs data on Friday.

　　Combined oil and gas extraction and support services jobs increased by 3,300 to 384,300 in November, the first increase since September 2014 when employment in the sector peaked at 536,100, according U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data.

　　Energy firms cut more than 155,000 jobs over the prior two years as they slashed the number of rigs drilling for oil from a record high of 1,609 in October 2014 to a six-year low of 316 in May, according to the BLS data and Baker Hughes Incs rig count.
