Some Moslem employees have even risen to skilled jobs as truckers or members of oil rig crews, but for the bulk of their skilled labor the oil companies are obliged to look to France. To lure and keep the kind of men they need, the companies rely not on high salaries-top wages for an engineer are $700 a month-but on the pioneer spirit, a generous leave policy...
