• The national economy continues to grow, with low unemployment, but business investment has slowed

• Oklahoma’s economy has slowed in 2019, as lower oil and gas prices hurt, but unemployment remains very low

• A longer-term trend worth watching is the state’s switch in net domestic migration flows in recent years, as more highly educated Oklahomans have been moving out

• At the same time, some industries in the state have continued to thrive, many of which pay good wages
