Fox News:油价下跌严重引发公司裁员

2016-03-13来源:和谐英语

Crude oil futures have hit their lowest price since 2003, right around $30.00 a barrel.
Triple-A says the national average price for a gallon of gas right now is about a $1.69 a gallon…
And industry watcher Trilby Lundberg says that trip to the pump is going to get even cheaper:
“Instead of just a few pennies, we might see several cents decline at the pump.
There’ll be a slight delay, but the direction is clearly down at this point.”

BP announcing 4,000 people are getting laid off, while Chevron is losing about 7,000.
