Nearly every county along the\u00c2\u00a0western edge of Oklahoma and in the Panhandle are expected to lose jobs. The <strong>hardest hit are the twelve counties\u00c2\u00a0with a projected loss of\u00c2\u00a0more than 1%<\/strong> (Texas County in the Panhandle; Nowata in the northeast corner; Woodward, Major, Alfalfa, Kingfisher, and Noble in the northwest and north central; Beckham, Washita, Tillman, and Stephens in the south central; and Seminole in the southeast).<\/p>\n<p>Both\u00c2\u00a0<strong>Oklahoma County (-0.5%) and Tulsa County (-0.2%)<\/strong>, the state&#8217;s two largest counties, are <strong>expected to\u00c2\u00a0lose jobs in 2016<\/strong>. These two counties\u00c2\u00a0will largely determine the overall state job growth rate.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the overall weakness, some <strong>areas of the state should perform quite well next year<\/strong>.
