Oklahoma has undergone an unprecedented diversification of its economy over the past couple of decades, expanding well beyond its traditional healthy sectors of energy and agriculture.
But the nation is also in the midst of an energy renaissance driven by technologies that enable drillers to reach deposits of oil and natural gas long thought to be out of reach. The result is a resurgence in the prominence of domestic energy production with Oklahoma in the middle of renewed activity. Despite the advent of other aspects of the state economy, energy continues to be the undeniable driver of Oklahoma’s economy. Furthermore, Oklahoma’s energy companies are among the best in the state in terms of employment statistics, benefits and working environments.
While some energy companies are household names, others are less high exposure. They still, however, represent some of the very best companies at which to work – and in today’s energy renaissance, they’re usually hiring.
