Workforce Report 2019

4.1. Overview In 2018, 49,079 people travelled offshore, a very slight decrease compared with 2017 (49,330). The figures indicate a stabilisation of the number of offshore workers, with 2017 and 2018 figures in line with those from 2006–10. Whilst the offshore workforce is now more than 20 per cent smaller than in 2014, that year represented a record year for investment and peak levels of industry employment.
