Thousands of workers in the American oil industry have lost their jobs as the industry works to reduce its expenditure due to dropping oil prices. This comes as OPEC and its allies strive to increase production to grow their market share which was previously lost to the U.S. and other producers in the last couple of years.

These increases have negatively affected global oil prices, which have dropped by roughly 12% thus far into the year. Experts believe that a drop or plateau in America’s…
