Extract

In Oklahoma, manufacturing employment continues to grow, playing a crucial role in the state's economy. The proportion of state employment in manufacturing rose from 12 percent in 1960 to 15 percent in 1970. Since then, the growth rate of manufacturing jobs has been even greater. In addition, many of the jobs created were in rural communities—from 1963 through 1971, 54 percent were located in communities smaller than 15, 000. State and community leaders planning for future growth could benefit from a manpower analysis. State leaders need to insure a sufficient supply of manpower in appropriate occupations. Community leaders could benefit from a manpower analysis estimating occupational needs resulting from changes in local economic base.
