OKC Boasts 2nd Lowest Unemployment

Continuing the trend of positive economic indicators for the OKC Metro, The Journal Record reported Thursday that the unemployment rate here is one of the lowest in the country.  Gotta love that!

Despite an unemployment rate increase of 2.3 percent over March 2008, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Wednesday reported only 5.6 percent of the Oklahoma City area’s work force was unemployed last month. Among America’s 50 largest cities, only four reported unemployment rates of less than 6 percent in March and only New Orleans, at 5.3 percent, reported a lower rate than Oklahoma City.
