OKC Named America's #6 Best Place to Find a Job

The October issue of US News and World Report named Oklahoma City as the 6th best place to find a job in the country.

"In the midst of the worst recession in decades, it wasn't easy to pinpoint the Best Places to Find a Job for 2009, as absolutely no American city was immune to the economic downturn. And there have been, no doubt, job seekers as frustrated in these 10 cities as in others. But 2009 was an unusual year. To pick the, perhaps, "better" places to find a job, we started with our database of 2,000 cities in all parts of the country. We then narrowed the list to cities that have weathered the recessionary job market and posted job growth since 2000 as well as below-average unemployment rates since June. We also focused on cities that were large enough to offer job seekers opportunities in a broad sweet of industries."
