Oil’s global workforce is showing signs of stress just as the industry begins to claw its way back from the worst-ever crude crash.
More than three-fourths of surveyed oilfield employees report feeling less secure in their jobs compared to a year ago and would consider switching to another line of work in the next few years. That’s according to the latest Global Energy Talent Index released by recruiting firms Airswift and Energy Jobline. It’s the first time in the five-year history of the survey that people felt less secure in their jobs, Janette Marx, chief executive officer at Airswift, said in a phone interview.
