Things are looking up for the oil industry and it seems as though the oil job market is stabilizing according to the latest Brent Crude and U.S Crude oil prices. Thursday the 4th June 2009, saw the oil price rise to a new high of almost $68 a barrel, which came in the wake of a United States Unemployment Data analysis, which showed that less people are filing claims for unemployment benefits.
There is an increased demand for oil, and the higher prices were also supported by the forecasts of the Goldman Sachs U.S investment bank for $85 per barrel towards the end of 2009 and the introduction of a 2010 end of year forecast of $95 per barrel. The U.S Crude oil price rose by $1.50 per barrel, while the London Brent Crude rose by $1.68 per barrel, just before 2pm (GMT). This resurgence in the oil industry has created more stability for the oil job market and therefore saw the filing claims for unemployment benefits fall for a third week in a row, which is also stimulating a better oil price.
With the oil prices soaring to new heights and oil companies finding more stability in the economy, the employment of professionals working on oil rigs, at oil refineries and on various oil projects is increasing once again.
