The State Chamber of Oklahoma Research Foundation today released a RegionTrack research report titled “Economic Assessment of Oil and Gas Tax Policy in Oklahoma.”
The report provides an economic assessment of Oklahoma oil and gas tax policy and examines recent structural changes in the industry. The full report is available online for download.

This report is part of an ongoing effort to assess the economic contribution of the CareerTech System to the Oklahoma economy.

The demand for these training programs continues to be driven by the desire of both employers and workers to match job skills over the work life more efficiently than is possible through access to common and higher education alone.
