http://newsok.com/oklahoma-city-unemployment-at-4.1-percent-in-april/article/3835861?custom_click=pod_headline_national-finance-newsOklahoma City once again held the lowest unemployment rate in the country among large cities with 4.1 percent in April, according to preliminary data released Wednesday by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The city's unemployment rate declined from 4.7 percent in March.
Oklahoma City has posted the lowest unemployment rate for large metropolitan areas for the past 13 months. The metro area also has had the lowest unemployment rate in the nation for 24 of the past 28 months, showing the strength of the local economy, said Eric Long, research economist for the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber.
“It really speaks to the long-term trend of low unemployment we see in our region,” Long said.

They were hiring like gangbusters at Enron also. I nearly joined them right before they went in the tank. A friend of mine was hired at Williams Comm right before they went south. They were hiring quite a bit of people back then too. Healthy hiring isn't *always* an indicator of the health of a business, nor is it the only indicator. |

You bet, Oklahoma is one of the few states without any recession going on. Thanks to our Gov. Mary Fallin. Anyone who really wants to work can find work in Oklahoma. The Tulsa Sunday paper is full of help wanted ads. BTW Mary Fallin's rating is now 71% favorable and going up. She is one of our best and most popular governors in the state of Oklahoma. The way she turned Oklahoma around and fired up a stalled slugglish state economy is remarkable! Her pro-business and pro-tax cut agenda is drawing in jobs.

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Instead of name calling- What exactly is incorrect about what I said? The gov.'s favorable rating is up to 71%, that's true - our state economy is booming, Oklahoma has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation and there is no question about that. Mary Fallin is cutting taxes and bring in new jobs that's also true. In fact last year Mary Fallin brought in 500 good paying jobs to Tulsa. The Tulsa Sunday Newspaper is full of "help wanted" ads. What is incorrect about my comment? Mary Fallin is doing everything right. Remember how it was with Brad Henry? The economy was in the tank under Henry's leadership, the state was in shambles. On the flip side look at Detroit, they just went belly up and filed for bankruptcy. Detroit was run by democrats for years and years with big unions calling the shots and this is the result- Detroit went bust.. (look at Michigan's economy) That is the result of high taxes and uncontroled state spending. Michigan's taxes are thru the roof and the economy is dead, unemployment is sky high- Michigan is bleeding away jobs, Oklahoma is attracting jobs. Mary Fallin is doing a outstanding job as the states gov. Cutting taxes builds a strong economy, raising taxes as in Michigan builds a depression. Economy 101.

$100+ oil is the ONLY reason for the decent economy in Oklahoma. Mary Fallin has exactly nothing to do with that. |
