Oil and gas industry employment (count) vs Dry natural gas production in United States

Oil and gas industry employment (count) (point-in-time) and Dry natural gas production (annual) in United States. They are published at different intervals, so each is drawn on its own rather than matched period by period.

Shared periods

Side by side

No period lines up: oil and gas industry employment (count) is point-in-time and dry natural gas production is annual. A month and a year are not the same measurement window, so no row pairs them.

Provenance

Where these numbers come from

Oil and gas industry employment (count)

The total number of jobs supported directly and indirectly by the oil and gas industry.

2 observations charted in United States · source organisations: API
