In the past, Oklahoma City was heavily reliant on its government and energy exploration industries. The city’s two Fortune 500 Companies, Chesapeake Energy and Devon Energy, are both oil and natural gas producers. Although these remain huge contributors to OKC’s economy, the city has become somewhat diversified. Major industries in OKC now include information technology, health services, business services, and administration. Diversification has helped strengthen OKC’s economy in recent years. According to the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce, the metro area’s economic output increased 33% between 2001 and 2005 and 42% between 2005 and 2009. In 2008 Forbes magazine named Oklahoma City the most “recession proof city in America.”

Between 2000 and 2012 unemployment rose in Oklahoma as it did in the rest of the United States. As one might expect, OKC’s unemployment rose and fell in concordance with that of Oklahoma. OKC’s unemployment rose sharply from about 3% in 2000 to 5.8% in 2003. It then fell gradually before reaching a temporary low in 2008, at 3.7%. During the recent economic recession, unemployment in OKC skyrocketed up to about 6.4% in 2010. Since then it has decreased to 4.6% (as of August 2012). OKC’s annual unemployment rates have been lower than those of Oklahoma since 2007. Both OKC and Oklahoma’s unemployment rates have been historically lower than the national average.
