10 Largest Employers in Oklahoma

So what jobs may be available to you . in Oklahoma well that's what I want   to cover today I’m going to do the , top 10 largest employers in oklahoma my name is Marcie Billen and I’m a real estate , agent I live in Norman Oklahoma I work in the   Oklahoma City metro and recently I posted a video . that covered the top five largest employers in   Norman Oklahoma and if you want to see that  video go ahead and go down in the description   the link is there you guys seem to love that video  so thank you so much for watching it I really   appreciate that uh so today I decided to cover the , 10 largest employers in Oklahoma and let me tell   you this is a lot of fun writing this video I got , to do a lot of research and I can't wait to share   it with you the reason I wanted to do this video  was because not everyone is going to of course   live in Norman you may want to live somewhere else , you may not even want to live in Oklahoma City   but you need to know what's available to you um , and to kind of begin your job search right or just   know what the biggest industries are in Oklahoma , so let's get started so people always do like the   smallest to the biggest I’m going to start with  the biggest because I think that's ridiculous it   drives me crazy when I’m watching videos so number , one biggest employer in Oklahoma is the department   of defense so this didn't really surprise me uh , in Oklahoma City in the metro we have tinker air   force base which is located in Midwest City and . I know it as the largest single site employer in   Oklahoma what I didn't realize is that it's the , biggest uh the department of defense the biggest   employer in all of Oklahoma and what that means is . like yes we have tinker air force base but there's   also Vets air force base which is in Enid pretty , sure and then we have altus which is an altus   and then there's fort sill which is Lawton and . then there's an ammunitions plant in Callister   all right the second largest employer in Oklahoma , is going to be Walmart so I’ve noticed in other   states that there may not be a Walmart everywhere , um I noticed that especially in california   on the west coast on the east coast too but , there's just not like a Walmart where I would   expect them to be coming from Oklahoma so Walmart  headquarters are located in Bentonville Arkansas   which is very close to Oklahoma it's not it's like , 45 minutes from the Oklahoma line um over Arkansas   which is very close to where I grew up so if .

you live in a town in Oklahoma most likely there   is going to be a Walmart and if there is not one  there is one in the next town guaranteed the third   largest employer in Oklahoma kind of shocked me , I guess it shouldn't have because I’ve just been   watching and build and build and build um over the . past two years but it still shocked me quite a bit   so it's amazon and of course with amazon buying , whole foods that definitely made a difference   but it's not just that in the Oklahoma City  metro we actually have two fulfillment centers   and so the uh the employee number count  went from like 2000 in 2019 for amazon   all the way up to what it is today which is  just under 12 000 employees in all of Oklahoma   so Integris health is rolling in at number  four for the largest for the fourth largest   employer in Oklahoma so Integris is a , hospital system or a healthcare system   that is kind of based here in the Oklahoma City , area there's lots and lots of locations they have   lots of specialty centers their website's actually  really good I linked it in the description below   so you can check it out if you want to and , definitely check them out for jobs because I   know that they're always looking for  people in multiple different departments   so the fifth largest employer in Oklahoma is . hobby lobby so you may have seen hobby lobby   in your stage or maybe you live here , basically like it's a big craft store   fabric store lots of home decor type thing . um they're famous for like putting words on   their uh decor and having sales of course so , the headquarters are actually located here in   Oklahoma City they are at 44th and council which . is northwest of will rogers international airport   so that's the main reason why hobby lobby . is one of the biggest employers in the   state of Oklahoma the closest suburban , areas to the hobby lobby hobby lobby to the hobby lobby headquarters our mustang and , Yukon and then of course Oklahoma City the number   six largest employer did shock me a little bit I . didn't expect it to be Oklahoma state university   but then when I thought about it it kind of  made sense um so I didn't go to Oklahoma state   university I went to the university of Oklahoma , which is located here in Norman Oklahoma state   university is located in Stillwater and they , have other campuses in Tulsa Oklahoma City   OkmugI and then they have their medical ,

school in Tulsa as well oh they also have   a large veterinarian school which is still . located in Stillwater the Chickasaw nation   is the number seven and largest employer in the  state of Oklahoma so this is just the employees   that are working gaming and non-governmental  activities like tourism and things like that   so Chickasaw nation headquarters are located in . Ada Oklahoma and the nation itself covers around   13 different counties and know that when I’m . talking about gaming I’m talking about casinos   okay so the eighth largest employer here , in the state of Oklahoma is the U.S.   postal service I’ve covered this a little bit . because we do have the postal training center   here in Norman Oklahoma so we get a lot of , activity coming in and out of instead um which   is the coastal training center so that's actually , located in south Norman all right so we're nearing   the end and I have three more employers to share , with you you're probably thinking no Marcie you   have two because you're on you just cover number , eight but actually there's two number tens   so there you go first thing I have to cover though . is that I do have an Oklahoma City relocation   guide and it is located in the description below  you'll find the link for that and it is free if   you need that number nine on our list is Saint . Francis hospital system or I think it's called   saint Francis health or something like that but it . is based out of the Tulsa area so it is north east   Oklahoma it's got a lot of locations over seven . locations and probably a great place for if you   work in the medical field or want to for you to go  ahead and go on over to their website which I’ll   link in the description below see if they have , any job openings all right like I said there are   two number tens because they have like an equal  number of employees so the first is the department   of veterans affairs so we have several different . locations for the department of veterans affairs   including Ardmore Claremore Clinton Lawton Norman  Sallisaw Sulphur and Talihina the main offices of   course are located in Oklahoma City which is . capital and then the second number 10 is the   Oklahoma department of human services DHS, so DHS . has their headquarters in Oklahoma City as well   thanks so much for watching I have lots of other . videos about Oklahoma specifically the Oklahoma   City metro so I would hop on my channel , and watch some of those if you want to.
