Jindal's only talking about Louisiana jobs.

As for the higher number it came from HuffPo - I guess you're saying thats BS?

We know the number of rigs, there were 126 workers on the Deepwater Horizon. These rigs workers work on 3-4 week 12-7 schedules with 3-4 weeks off in between so there's a whole other crew that would at home on shore at any time. Plus there are loads of support people offsite supplying the rigs, producing the materials being used .....

But regardless of how many jobs are at stake, why should ANYONE be thrown out of work? Remember the engineering experts the Obama administration asked for recommendations recommended AGAINST a moratorium.
