Oklahoma Sector Strategies in the news

Article from Steven Hendrickson (chairman of the Governor’s Council for Workforce and Economic Development) on Oklahoman's four "super sectors."

There’s no bursting bubble in our housing market. We rank among the top 10 job-producing states.

Our unemployment rate is a third below the national average. And our largest city is judged the most recession-proof in the U.S. So what’s driving this resilient Oklahoma economy?

Sum it up in four key sectors: energy, manufacturing, aerospace and health care. These Oklahoma “super sectors” combine the dollars, the people and the growth that keep the state’s economy purring. With more skilled people in these super sectors, we could turn this purr into a roar.
