Oklahoma ranks as fifth worst state for workers, new study reveals
A new study finds Oklahoma is one of the worst states to work in.
The study, by Peaksales Recruiting, ranks Oklahoma as the fifth worst state for people to work in.
To make that determination, researchers analyzed recent data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Census Bureau, MIT, and the Tax Foundation.
Metrics used in the study included job and GDP growth, union representation, weekly hours worked, commute times, remote work, and earnings ration, which measures the living wage needed to support a family against the median wage.
