"A recent study estimates that 2.1 million jobs were supported by this energy boom in 2012, and is expected to rise to 3.3 million jobs by 2020.

With U.S. natural gas prices a third of those in Europe, it is also making the United States a much more competitive place for industry, helping to power what President Obama has called a “renaissance in American manufacturing”—many tens of billions of dollars of new investment going into manufacturing facilities. And the increase in domestic oil production has reduced the annual U.S. trade deficit, at current prices, by about $85 billion."

That's weird....I work in oil and gas...7 of my friends from a different O&G company were recently laid off, and I just got a pay cut.
