Oilfield services giant Schlumberger Ltd. (SLB) has begun laying off hundreds of workers in the U.S. and around the world in the first of what experts say will likely be a wave of job cuts in the energy industry.
Halliburton Co. (HAL), Schlumberger's largest rival, said Thursday that it also will be cutting jobs, but provided no details.

Oxy is also cutting down staff.. planning to close one whole Department..:(
Harsh reality, oil prices have dropped. Middle class Americans are living out of their cars... Gotta love a competant government, and you also gotta love the citizens who voted them in not once.. but twice. WHOOO-YAH!!!____________________________________________________
