Texas oil field services firms add jobs despite challenges finding qualified workers
Jon Shapley, Houston Chronicle / Staff photographerremains below pre-pandemic levelsOil field services jobs in Texas, which leads the nation in sector employment, rose to 317,031 in December, rising by 2,486 jobs compared to November's, according to preliminary federal data analyzed by the Energy Workforce and Technology Council. Employment in the sector ticked up nearly 9 percent for the year, up from the 290,951 Texas oil field services workers in December 2021.
Oil field employment was at 650,587 nationwide in December, an increase of more than 52,000 from the year earlier but still about 50,000 workers shy of the pre-pandemic level in early 2020, according to the group.“The trending increases in hiring is encouraging for our industry and workforce that was forced to make significant reductions in 2020,” said Leslie Beyer, CEO of the Energy Workforce and Technology Council.
by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, some oil field services firms said it’s becoming harder to find qualified employees. “Attracting and retaining labor remains our most significant and intractable challenge,” one oil field services executive wrote in the comments section of the survey. “Despite wage and benefit increases, retaining newly hired labor is difficult.”
