Wow, we're tied for #4?  That's a little surprising.

Pet peeve:  those websites that make it difficult to actually find the list (in this case, it's done in pictures, and you do all the scrolling yourself.  Since when is it so hard to print out a list?!?).

I had a girl cut my hair once that moved to Tulsa because her husband saw the city on one of these lists and decided to move.  They were from California so the cost of living probably also had something to do with it, but still I thought it was funny.

The list really doesn't surprise me.  Lots of companies are hiring in Tulsa, and oil continuing to do well should keep that up.  If nat gas increases as expected there should be even more hiring as a lot of our local companies are heavily on the gas side, either in midstream, exploration or NGL's.  Healthcare, aerospace and manufacturing, all big in Tulsa, should also have a good year locally.
