Justin Bieber Brings Attention to Job Losses in the Oil Industry in His ‘Holy’ Music Video Featuring Chance the Rapper
The Canadian singer is giving attention to gas and oil industry workers that have become unemployed due to the pandemic.
Justin Bieber recently released his music video for his new song “Holy” on Sep 18 and has racked up an astonishing 30 million views on Youtube. The music video shows Bieber as an oil worker and was working on the site. Shortly after, there was an announcement that the site had to be shut down because of the pandemic. The news resulted in Bieber and his coworkers losing their job. As mentioned in the music video, his boss stated, “Sad for me to have to make this announcement, but we have to shut down the plant. I know its new to the current and ongoing global situation. You have been incredible employees. There is simply no way we can keep afloat in this particular point in time. I want each and every one of you to know that you are highly valued. I am truly sorry.”
The music video later shows Bieber going home and finding his partner getting an eviction notice from the landlord, resulting in them becoming homeless. The couple then shed tears due to their situation and circumstances.

There are around 100 thousand oil and gas workers in the United States that lost their jobs due to Covid-19.

Shown in their analysis, the states that have an oil industry job loss greater than 4,000 are Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, California, and Pennsylvania.
