Where are the most oilfield jobs in the US right now?

Hiring activity concentrates in a handful of major producing regions rather than spreading evenly across the country. The Permian Basin (West Texas and southeastern New Mexico, centered on Midland and Odessa) is the largest and most active by a wide margin. The Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas and parts of East Texas also see meaningful drilling and completions activity. Which region has the most current openings shifts with drilling activity over time — a real-time "most jobs right now" answer would go stale quickly, which is exactly the kind of thing worth checking current hiring intelligence for rather than relying on a static claim. Most people have better luck targeting a specific region and employer type than searching "oilfield jobs" broadly across the whole country.
