Tulsa named the No. 2 city for employment
3.14.2011The Tulsa metro area tied for the second best city in the nation for second-quarter employment outlook, according to a Manpower Employment Outlook survey. According to the survey, Tulsa MSA employers expect to hire at a “vigorous” pace during Q2 2011.
Of the companies interviewed for the survey, 22 percent plan to hire more employees while only 2 percent expect to cut staff. The remaining 73 percent will maintain their current staff levels and 3 percent are uncertain of their plans. If these hiring forecasts come to fruition, it could yield a net employment outlook of 20 percent.
“This information confirms what our staff is hearing from businesses in the Tulsa region,” said Chamber President and CEO Mike Neal. “Our industries are strong and our workforce is extremely talented, and for those reasons and much more, Tulsa is attracting the attention of many relocating businesses. 2011 will be an extremely positive year for our region.”
