The scale of job creation in Oklahoma City and Tulsa takes on a different perspective when viewed by number of jobs created.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma City is ranked 27th<\/sup><\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0in number of jobs created, with Tulsa 50th<\/sup><\/strong>. These gains are more reflective of their relative population size.<\/p>\n

If you aren’t quite sure how concentrated job growth is in the nation’s large metro areas, consider this: 1) only the twenty-six metro areas ranked ahead of Oklahoma City managed to create more than 20,000 jobs the past twelve months, while 80% of the nation\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s metro areas created less than 5,000 jobs the past twelve months.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
