This is one of the silliest posts in this thread. Unemployed oilfield services worker, go become a hairdresser? That's your suggestion?
Unemployment is up as much as it is because of a cascading effect, as the money that would normally be paid to workers in the oil industry is not being deployed as consumer spending, or otherwise. It's not that there are a bunch of job openings out there while low-skilled former oil and gas workers sit at home stubbornly refusing to look for work they could easily have.
