Are people being hired to clean oil spill?

Marine biologists, engineers, chemists, Coast Guard personnel, and many many volunteers for the labor intensive long term clean up.

One method is being used with some success where there are enough people and materials to sop up the oil in special mats and booms made of natural fibers, like hair. They are getting the fibers to the places and people to help in the clean up on the Gulf Catastrophe 2010.

You can help with this type of clean up, too. See the link in the related links section below for information about donations of natural fibers and hair to use in clean up. The web address will take you to the volunteer organization that is coordinating the donations of hair, wool, feathers, and nylons (hosiery), etc. to be used to help make barrier booms and to use in the clean up of beaches, birds, and animals that get oil soaked. The non-profit group will take money for buying the special netting they use in the construction of the booms, or your donations of that netting, too. You can have a "Boom B Q".

The site explains and shows how the fiber mats and booms work. It includes a link to a YouTube video on how to make the booms, too. They are a good way to recycle fibers and hair, and they can be reused, so they will provide help for now and with future problems.
