Proud To Call Oklahoma Home

If you’re looking for work, the current 2012 unemployment numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics might point you in the direction of Oklahoma. Just within the past few months, unemployment rates in Oklahoma’s major cities of Oklahoma City and Tulsa have both been experiencing near free-falls. Tulsa’s unemployment rate of 6.5% in January dropped to 4.6% in April and the unemployment rate of Oklahoma City has fallen from 5.9% in January to an even 4% in April. That average of 4.3% unemployment is well above the national average in April of 7.7%. 

As the unemployment rate decreases, this means more people have jobs and therefore money to spend at local businesses or to start up their own local businesses. Companies like ONEOK, Williams Companies, Quiktrip and Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group are amongst some of the nation’s largest companies proud to call Tulsa home as well as DEVON Energy, Chesapeake Energy, Sonic Drive-In and Hobby Lobby calling Oklahoma City their stomping grounds. In addition to a strong industry presence as well as low unemployment, Oklahoma is also one of the least expensive places to live in the United States. As well as being one of the most economically thriving areas of the United States, Oklahoma is also home to immense natural beauty, numerous points of historical significance, and a long-held reputation for its dedication to the arts as well the home of many of the world’s most famous musicians.
