The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has updated a study showing the numbers of workers in the Oil and Gas drilling industry from 2001 to 2009, the latest available figures.
However, a Baker Hughes rig count, shows that the current working rotary rig count has risen to 750 from below 400 in the middle of 2009.
Oil and Gas Drilling Employment 2001 to 2009
The study says “Employment in the oil and gas well drilling industry accounted for 63,012 jobs in September 2009, which is the most recent period available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program.”
It also notes “Gulf Coast employment in this industry is most concentrated in a number of Texas counties and Louisiana parishes. Drilling accounts for a much larger share of employment in these localities than is the case for the Nation as a whole.
“Nearly a quarter (23.6 percent) of total U.S. Employment in this industry is in Harris County, Texas (Houston), which accounts for 14,881 jobs and 0.9 percent of private sector employment in that county. Drilling’s share of Harris County employment is almost 15 times its share of the national total”
