@Stargardener asked, and @DeidreDMyers of the Oklahoma Department of Commerce came to the rescue.

Myers pointed out that Government leads both categories in Oklahoma, with a GDP % of 15.7 and jobs % of 16.5. Remember that Government includes federal, state, local, military, and the tribal nations.

I looked at the charts. I was wondering what is included under “information?” Would that include media and internet services?
Joan, I don’t know. You might look at the Oklahoma Department of Commerce site for more info, since they provided the stats.

Thanks Becky! I cannot tell you how excited I am that the Get Social events are being planned in this area! I am about 20 mins. West of Tulsa so I could attend at either Tulsa or OKC. :)
