So what field are you in? Assuming you're in Calgary, I don't think there's much in this town that doesn't have an indirect link back to O&G in this town. Everyone from teachers, to Chefs, to plumbers are going to take a hit to the pocketbook if O&G tanks in this town.
People always talk about how this is a "diversified town", not just O&G. I laugh at that.
