The biggest drop in the nation!

Oklahoma’s unemployment rate fell to 5%  last month. It hasn’t been this low since Christmas of ’08. The rate in Oklahoma dropped four-tenths of one percent.  Last month the rate was 5.4%

38,500 more Oklahomans are working now than a year ago. Metro area figures will be released later this month.

Arizona also had a four-tenths of one percent drop, but Arizona's overall rate is still above 8%.
