Oklahoma Dept. Of Commerce Says State Is Among Fastest Growing Economies In The Nation

Oklahoma has one of many fastest-growing economies within the nation, in line with the Oklahoma Department of Commerce.

The division says in the course of the third quarter of final 12 months the state’s gross home product rose by greater than 5 p.c which was the third-highest development within the U.S. Oklahoma’s oil and gasoline business contributed greater than $1-billion whereas the state’s arts and leisure business noticed probably the most development with 7.3 p.c.

“With the state’s recent increase in jobs and massive population gains coupled with these GDP increases, Oklahoma is on an exciting trajectory,” mentioned Chad Mariska, Oklahoma Secretary of Commerce and Workforce Development. “We have a real opportunity here to tell Oklahoma’s story – from talent attraction efforts to showcasing our pro-business policies. People and companies are buying what Oklahoma is selling and I’m excited to see our momentum continue.”
