SAN ANTONIO - Following layoffs by oil giant Halliburton at its Eagle Ford Shale facility in Alice, 60 people are now unemployed. The move comes a month after Halliburton announced it would be laying off thousands of workers worldwide.

Baker Hughes announced in February that it would lay off 51 people at its facility in Alice. Shareholders of Halliburton and Baker Hughes voted this week in favor of the two companies' planned merger, according to Forbes.

Oilfield Trucking Solutions, a contractor for Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake Energy Corp., laid off 93 people at its facility in Pearsall in early March.

Texas Workforce Commission data shows that new job postings for oil and natural gas jobs has fallen by 40 percent in the Eagle Ford Shale since December.
