Sure there is. At least a couple of the drilling rigs have already left because they couldn't work. There goes the jobs from the workers on the rigs, and likely some support jobs (and perhaps indirectly more jobs because these people don't act as consumers for other businesses, but its true we don't, and probably can't, have any proof about that type of indirect effect, only the relatively direct losses)
