The problem is you are not thinking about the specific jobs.  You are just looking at the surface.  Consider this.  When the oil industry cuts 26% of their jobs, what part of state government need is reduced?  Are there suddenly 26% fewer roads to maintain or 26% fewer airports to operate?  Are there 26% fewer industries that require permitting or oversight?  Are there 26% fewer schools?  You can't compare different industries strictly on a percentage of jobs gained or lost basis.  They are totally unrelated.
