Whats the scuttlebutt on jobs out in the gulf?

got my qmed endorsement and should finish my rfpew in oct 10, and then plan on going down to the gulf to knock on doors, I hear its at a standstill not many companies are hiring, does anyone have any information of whats really going on in the gulf, which companies might be hiring? would appreciate any information I can get, plan on being in the gulf on oct 20…

Hiring has slowed, but QMEDs are still needed.
