This report examines the employment outlook of African American and Hispanic workers in the upstream oil and gas industry over the period 2010 to 2030. Three types of job growth are considered:
- New jobs that are projected to be created under a baseline forecast of the industry’s expected growth,
- Jobs that will likely be created due to the need to replace workers who retire or otherwise leave the industry over this period, and
- Jobs that are projected to be created under a scenario for more accelerated development of U.S. oil and natural gas resources.
