No Americans need apply

There has been lots of discussion and speculation about renewed drilling for oil in Cuba’s Gulf waters since Repsol drilled exploratory rules in 2004. But now it’s getting real. A rig has been built for renewed drilling and is en route to Cuba, and now there are ads for jobs, such as this one for “driller, toolpusher” for $208,500 per year.

The location is 28 miles from U.S. waters and 80 miles from the Florida Keys, but off limits to U.S. workers.
