Interesting study and more great PR for OKC:

The Metro Areas With The Most Economic Momentum Going Into 2014 | Newgeography.com

To identify the regions with the most momentum coming out of the recession, we turned to Mark Schill, research director for the Praxis Strategy Group, who crunched a range of indicative data from 2007 to today for the nation’s 52 largest metropolitan statistical areas. To gauge economic vitality, we used four metrics: GDP growth, job growth, real median household income growth and current unemployment. To measure demographic strength we looked at population growth, birth rate, domestic migration and the change in educational attainment. All factors were weighted equally.

I never once said those cities are beating OKC in terms of the economy. I have consistently stated how much better the economy is here than places like Charlotte which still haven't fully recovered from the Great Recession.
