“Why Not Oklahoma?”

An announcement from the Department of Commerce answers this question.  You’ve just got to be proud to be an Oklahoman when you read that we are gaining jobs from Mexican manufacturing!

From the Oklahoma Department of Commerce website:

2008 Location and Investment Examples
To date, several key locations and investments have occurred across Oklahoma.

AAA broke ground August 21 on a new operations center in Oklahoma City. About 825 employees will be hired for the new center, which is scheduled for completion in late 2009.

Hyatt hired 300 people at its new finance and accounting shared service center in Moore. The new jobs bring a $6 million payroll to central Oklahoma.

Mexico’s Sigma-Alimentos recently opened its first U.S. manufacturing facility in Seminole. The operation at full capacity will employ 400 people.
