From TulsaWorld (//%22http://www.tulsaworld.com/NewsStory.asp?ID=060622_Ne_a1_tulsa%22):

It's official: The Tulsa economy has recovered all of the 28,000 jobs it lost earlier in the decade.
Even better, the metropolitan area continues to move strongly into record territory, new figures show.
/Suprised nobody posted this...you guys are slipping![;)] It seems Tulsa is recovering pretty quickly from the big "tripple-whammy". A five-year slump, while worse than the rest of the country, seems pretty tame compared to our "oil bust" of the '80's. Didn't that last, like, 15 years? I'd be interested to hear from our senior advisors about the other local recession and how it compared.
Also, is Tulsa really diversifying? And is that why we are pulling out so quickly? Or did we just get lucky with high energy prices at the right time?
