Hmmmm...This does not include the spin-off jobs in the indirect support industries: everything from retail sales, food services and hospitality industry, vehicles (and more vehicles, from semi tractors to mopeds), and the army that services them as well.

One thing is certain: Obama will either try to take credit for the boom, or try to shut the industry down (he has done both so far--it just depends on where you are).

The problem in the oil company I work for is that Americans to do this type of work are scarce.

Well over 50% of the professionals we hire(6 figure salaries) are non-citizens
