“Maybe about half of the industry is profitable. The other half is losing money. We will not see significant hiring again in the oil and gas industry until it’s profitable again.” — Patrick Jankowski, the Greater Houston Partnership’s senior vice president of research “We cannot live in some of these areas anymore because they are going to flood time and time again, and there is structurally nothing we can do about it.
