Workforce Report 2018 - Facts and Figures

In Summary L atest estimates show that the oil and gas sector currently supports around 283,000 jobs in the UK through direct employment, indirect employment and jobs that are induced by the sector’s wider economic contribution. Although some companies are continuing to make reductions in the size of their workforce, the 2018 estimate anticipates a slight increase (almost 1 per cent) on the 2017 figure. This will represent the first increase in total industry-supported employment since 2014. While hundreds of thousands of jobs across the UK were supported by the sector last year, the out-turn of 283,000 is 7 per cent lower than the 302,000 estimate published in Oil & Gas UK’s Economic Report 2017 . The primary factor behind the fall was lower-than-expected capital investment last year. The industry supports around
