據國外媒體1月8日休斯敦報道，美國勞工統計局（BLS）周五（6日）公布的就業統計數據顯示，美國油氣生產商在去年11月份增加了工作崗位。由于鉆井商因原油價格恢復開始重返鉆井現場，美國油氣領域在過去兩年多里首次出現了月度就業增加。

　　統計數據顯示，油氣開采和支持服務工作崗位在11月份共增加了3300個，總數達到了38.43萬個，這是2014年9月該領域創下53.61萬個最多就業數以來的首次增加。

　　根據美國勞工統計局和貝克休斯公司的最新統計數據，由于美國能源公司把鉆探油氣鉆機數從2014年10月的1609部創歷史高位大幅削減到了去年5月的316部6年來低位，美國能源公司在之前的兩年里先后削減了15.5萬多個工作崗位。

　　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.
