Baker Hughes To Lay Off 7 000 Workers Planning For Downturn
Oil services company Baker Hughes Inc. will lay off about 7,000 workers as it prepares for a downturn in orders because of the plunge in crude prices, the company said Tuesday.
The world's largest oil services provider, Schlumberger Ltd., said last week it would reduce its workforce by 9,000 employees.
----------------------------------------
And Republicans are screaming that we need Keystone so we wouldn't have to depend on foreign oil. I'm guessing many think Canada is a state. And Canada told us the Keystone would only create about 35 permanent jobs.
This is why Republicans should never be allowed anywhere near American economic policy. They show the same knowledge and aptitude when they leg Bin Laden go and invaded Iraq. Foreign, Domestic, scientific, it doesn't matter the policy, Republicans simply aren't capable of dealing with substantive issues. They don't have the knowledge or the experience.
