Houston Chronicle: Oil field services employment approaching 4 year lows

Via the Houston Chronicle: 
Oil-field services employment in the United States is approaching its lowest point since the 2014-16 oil bust, as low crude prices continue to put a damper on drilling and completion activities, according to a report by the Petroleum Equipment and Services Association. 
The sector's workforce, which includes drilling rig crews, hydraulic fracturing fleets and equipment manufacturers, shed more than 105,000 jobs during a 12-month period ended in May, the trade group said in an analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data...
I imagine this will have interesting ripple effects through the chemical industry...

Best wishes to O&G chemists, and to all of us.
