The Edmund Sun is reporting on a new economic impact study finding that Oklahoma's oil and gas industry provides 300,000 jobs in the state: "The study found that 71,224 Oklahomans are directly employed by the drilling and production sectors of the oil and natural gas industry. Another 228,115 jobs are supported indirectly by the oil and natural gas industry. In all, those roughly 300,000 jobs generate more than $14 billion in labor income."
