Will the oil spill jobs be able to save delicious Gulf oysters for places like Felix’s (pictured here) in New Orleans and the Tens of Thousands of places like them in southeast Louisiana?

The answer is obviously:  I don’t know.  And nobody else does either.

But just to get a little more idea what we’re dealing with, and how the oil spill workers would be essential in cleaning the area where the oysters are cultivated, take a look at this map of the oyster beds:

As you can see, the oyster beds are highlighted in red.  Now, there is oyster cultivation going on in all the states surrounding the Gulf of Mexico, but Louisiana – by several orders of magnitude – has the biggest and most active area of operation for oyster farming.

BP Oil Spill Slick All Around Louisiana's Mississippi Delta

What is the next stage in the BP oil spill disaster recovery, and how will this impact the availability of new oil spill jobs?

Here is an educated guess, but first: what we do know?

1. We know that the out-of-control oil well has been sealed-up by oil job workers over the old Deepwater Horizon oil rig site ever since July 15th about 3:15 in the afternoon.  Since that time, it has held strong with no obvious leaks (unless there’s a cover-up going on.  I don’t think there is at this time.)

2. We know that the 5K foot deep well has a Temporary Cap.  This means that there will have to be more oil job work on permanently fixing and sealing the busted deep sea oil well.  There is also a HIGH PROBABILITY that the temporary cap may have to be removed – letting the oil well start spraying its toxic crude into the already damaged Gulf of Mexico.

3. Nobody knows if permanently sealing the oil well is going to work as planned.  Also, there is apprehension about removing the temporary cap because it could cause more problems, too…like a new oil leak.

4. There’s the possibility that bad storms, including hurricanes, could hamper work to make permanent the cap fixing the oil well.

Now, for theorizing sake, let’s say that BP’s ever-problematic oil well actually does stay shut. Let’s say that not another drop spills into the ocean. Then what?

As it was promised, I am now delivering the secret weapon.  Maybe it’s best termed “an overlooked weapon.” This is NOT shocking information I’m about to give you. But hopefully it’ll stir some of you and others…it’ll wake you UP.  Here we go.

Oil Spill Job Hunter’s Secret Weapon

We’ve been reporting to you on the massive hiring bonanza going on because of all of the newly created oil spill jobs.  It’s happening all over and around the Gulf of Mexico coast with major oil spill job opportunities in Florida and Louisiana, and somewhat less active but still VERY significant hiring going on in Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas.

Are there are a lot of jobs?   YES.   Nevertheless, there is some amount competition for these oil jobs.  I personally believe as this whole BP oil spill drama progresses that employers and employment agencies are going to have a very difficult time finding staffing from the local population and outside help is going to have to come in.  In fact, some areas are ALREADY having difficulty locating not just good but willing people to help.

Where does the outside help come from?  It comes from other U.S. states not mentioned above, and there would also likely be a flow of foreign and migrant workers to continue the oil spill recovery efforts that will certainly last for 20+ years and this oil work will be maintained at very aggressive pace the entire time.

This is good news for you!  You want to be a part of that.  You’re ready for a change, a new job, a new place to live, a New Life.  OR maybe you’re sick of always coming up short of money, and you’re ready to do anything to change your predicament.

“But dang!”

What about all the other people wanting these same jobs?  How in the world can I get my name pushed to the top of the pile – so I stand out – and get hired before other folks also wanting the same jobs?  It’s simpler than you might think.
