中国石化新闻网讯 据世界石油5月19日消息称，尽管原油价格上涨为美国石油公司及其承包商带来了大量利润，但页岩油劳动力的复苏仍需数年时间。

据Rystad Energy预计，今年美国油气行业的就业人数将增长12.5%，达到97.1万人。但根据该行业咨询公司的新研究，该地区的就业还需要5年时间才能达到疫情前的水平。工人们要等到2024年才能看到两位数的年度工资增长。Rystad表示，今年的薪酬预计将增长2.9%。

石油公司不愿大幅提高工资，因为它们希望控制不断飙升的成本。因此，钻井工人在其他地方寻找更高的工资，可再生能源是最受欢迎的着眼点。

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.
