Things to do in Oklahoma City
There’s no shortage of things to do in Oklahoma City—one of the country’s largest and fastest growing cities. A few of the many attractions to enjoy are the Oklahoma City Zoo, Oklahoma City Cowboy Hall of Fame, the Bricktown in Oklahoma City, and the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. Other Oklahoma City events include numerous international equine championship events, more than any other city in the world—the reason why it’s often nicknamed the “Horse Show Capitol of the World.”

Employment and Economy
Oklahoma City jobs are not lacking in a local economy where the unemployment rate of 3.6% was far below the national average of 4.8%.
