Energy Playing a Vital Role in the Economy

In a report by the World Economic Forum released yesterday
highlighting the crucial part the oil and gas sector plays in the
economy, it reports the US oil and gas industry created 37,000
direct jobs and 111,000 indirect jobs in 2011, generating 9% of all
new US jobs last year. The report also noted that US oil and gas
extraction industries grew at a 4.5% rate in 2011, compared with a
1.7% total GDP growth rate.
The sector's highly skilled workforce is also well-paid compared
to other sectors, according to the report. Compensation per worker
in energy-related industries is about twice the average in Germany,
Norway, the UK, and the US, and four times the average in Mexico
and South Korea, it said. As a result of higher wages, energy
industry employees contribute more absolute spending per capita to
the economy than the average worker and contribute a larger share
of GDP per worker than those in most other businesses.
In an Oil and Gas Journal article, it is stated, "Strong oil
prices and improvements in technology will result in an increase in
efficiency again in 2012." Large oil and gas outfits like Exxon
(XOM), Chesapeake Energy (CHK), and smaller up starts like AER
Energy (PINKSHEETS: AERN) and Royale Energy, Inc. (ROYL) could all
benefit from this trend by focusing technology improvements.
