      So according to this:

      Food & Water Watch created a model that more accurately reflects the actual number of jobs in the industry in five categories (oil and gas extraction; support activities for oil and gas operations; drilling oil and gas wells; oil and gas pipeline construction; and pipeline transportation). These five sectors accounted for 621,504 jobs in 2017, and 685,534 in 2018.
