Manufacturing remains an important economic sector in Oklahoma City, employing more than 34,000 people and accounting for 5% of the jobs in the metro. There are currently 1,285 payrolled manufacturing business establishments in Oklahoma City, and their wages are 17% higher than the average wage across other industries.
On Wednesday, April 21, from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m., the April Chamber Forum will cover all those details and more with its examination of Oklahoma City’s manufacturing industry.
