A big portion of job growth over the last few years has been thanks to the developments and advancements in hydraulic fracturing and shale plays. Not just in the U.S., but on a global level as well.

However…

Last year, the energy and materials sectors accountedfor 42% of global corporate capital expenditures(CAPEX) according to S&P’s 2014 Global Capex Survey.

As oil and gas companiescontinue to slash theirCAPEX budgets, otherbusinesses and jobs willbe negatively affected.

And it isn’t just CAPEX risk. There’s

And even though U.S. rig count is dropping,production is remaining high as better quality rigsstay on line and boost production.

OPEC Oil Production is Rising.

That’s a setup for more downward pressure on oil prices.

Despite U.S.-based oil companies slashing rig counts 52.8% over the last five months, Saudi Arabia

Oil prices have tanked over 40% since September 2014.

The biggest culprit?

“Saudi Arabia and OPEC may have just launched an Oil War,”according to one award-winning journalist.

In the words of an ex-CIA director,

“Unless we do something… We will be in the hands of OPEC for a long time.”

SAUDI ARABIA.

Are we heading for an oil war?
