據世界石油5月19日消息稱，盡管原油價格上漲為美國石油公司及其承包商帶來了大量利潤，但頁巖油勞動力的復蘇仍需數年時間。

據Rystad Energy預計，今年美國油氣行業(yè)的就業(yè)人數將增長12.5%，達到97.1萬人。但根據該行業(yè)咨詢公司的新研究，該地區(qū)的就業(yè)還需要5年時間才能達到疫情前的水平。工人們要等到2024年才能看到兩位數的年度工資增長。Rystad表示，今年的薪酬預計將增長2.9%。

石油公司不愿大幅提高工資，因為它們希望控制不斷飆升的成本。因此，鉆井工人在其他地方尋找更高的工資，可再生能源是最受歡迎的著眼點。

Shale jobs won't top pre-pandemic levels until 2027

The recovery of the shale patch workforce is still years in the making despite the frothy profits that rallying crude prices are generating for U.S. oil companies and their contractors.

Employment in the U.S. oil and gas industry is expected to jump 12.5% this year to 971,000, according to Rystad Energy. But it will take another half decade before employment in the region tops pre-pandemic levels, according to new research from the industry consultant. Workers will have to wait until 2024 to see double-digit annual wage hikes. Pay this year is expected to climb 2.9%, according to Rystad.

Oil companies are hesitant to boost wages dramatically as they seek to keep a lid on skyrocketing costs. As a result, rig workers look elsewhere for a higher pay, with renewables being the most popular landing spot.
