Global employment is on the rise as the oil and gas industry continues to boom. Fifty-three percent of hiring managers in the industry intend to hire more energy professionals in the first half of 2014 than the previous six months, according to a semiannual hiring survey from Rigzone.
In addition, companies are expected to spend $723 billion, or 6.1 percent more than the previous year, in exploration and production activities in 2014, Barclays reported in December 2013.
