Jobs report shows OK doing better than most of U.S.

Unemployment rate in OK at 5.2%

The latest U.S. jobs report came out today.

And it shows Oklahoma is doing much better than the country as a whole.

The nation's unemployment rate stayed steady at 7.8 percent, after 155-thousand jobs were added last month.

The State Labor Department said there was job growth in Oklahoma in 6 of 11 different categories.

But Oklahoma has one of the best rates in the country, at 5.2 percent.

They said the biggest increase was in government jobs.

Economists expect a slow, but steady improvement for the U.S. in 2013, after 1.84 million jobs were added nationwide last year.
