Hiring has recovered somewhat, but I still hear a lot of complaining from people trying to find work. During the downturn, “efficiencies” were the name of the game and a lot of jobs on a rig were automated. There also seems to be a 50 year old age cap, I know some very qualified pet. engineers who can’t even get a sniff and they’re convinced it’s because of ageism. But by and large there are a lot more jobs out there for sure.
