Rising violence against expatriates and growing local unemployment has changed the dynamics of oil and gas recruitment…. All was okay until recently. There has been an increase in violence directed at expatriates in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile local unemployment has been growing; Arthur Little’s report released this week highlights how this problem has been growing in the region. Yemen’s unemployment rate is 36%, Saudi Arabia’s is creeping up to 14%.

More than 70 years ago, as men returned from World War II, women who had gone to work in our factories were told to go back home. Today, it seems, we are content to replay the experience of these “Rosie the Riveters.”….

Everyone is talking about creating more green jobs, but few people seem to know how to actually do it. That got Chad Holliday, the former CEO of DuPont and current chairman of Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500), thinking about solutions. Earlier this year he helped form the American Energy Innovation Council (AEIC), a bipartisan group of business leaders who believe that the U.S. needs a long-term energy strategy to transition to a low-carbon economy and create American jobs.

The long-term potential of unconventional and deepwater energy assets attracted buyers of every sort back into the oil & gas M&A market in 2010, pushing the overall industry deal count to pre-recession levels. A recovering worldwide economy supports the industry’s strong deal activity, as fears of a “double-dip” recession have faded. Stronger commodity prices and credit markets further support continued M&A activity.

Last year saw a slow recovery from the economic recession of 2008-9, bolstered by a $90/barrel price at the end of 2010 that built confidence in longer-term investment projects.

Now, the oil industry is moving into new phases of development. Nationally owned oil companies (NOCs) are seeking alliances, joint ventures or even acquisitions in order to gain access to refining and upstream assets and new markets.

The petroleum industry includes the global processes of exploration, extraction, refining, transporting (often by oil tankers and pipelines), and marketing petroleum products. The largest volume products of the industry are fuel oil and gasoline (petrol). Petroleum is also the raw material for many chemical products, including pharmaceuticals, solvents, fertilizers, pesticides, and plastics. The industry is usually divided into three major components: upstream, midstream and downstream. Midstream operations are usually included in the downstream category.

When President Obama and key Senate leaders meet today to reach a compromise on energy and climate legislation, they should strongly consider increasing federal investment in clean energy technology to at least $15 billion annually. This is a comprehensive third way strategy to improve U.S. energy independence, economic competitiveness, and climate security, and it deserves bipartisan support.

“Aligned at the Top,” a new global study conducted by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (DTT) and the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), revealed that while senior business executives and HR leaders view people issues as strategic business issues, there is also an increasing tension between the needs of the company and HR’s ability to deliver. The study, which surveyed 531 senior business executives and HR leaders representing every major industry and region, suggests that most HR functions are still transforming themselves — or thinking of transforming themselves — from administrator to strategist, and many have yet to develop the capacity and capabilities required to tackle their company’s current and future strategic challenges.
