Unlike America’s bustling states with big cities, Oklahoma, the number 13 in our list of best states for economists is usually depicted as a quiet suburb-like state where you can live cheap but have to sacrifice civilization. It could be true if you have said that many years ago, but Oklahoma City will prove you wrong. Thanks to their stable economic and business developments, there are more jobs in here today. The wages they have for economists even come higher than bigger states. Considering how cheap their living expenses are, Oklahoma seems worth a closer look.
