Oklahoma's Unemployment Rate Drops Again

State officials say Oklahoma's unemployment rate has dropped again.

The Oklahoma Employment Security Commission reported Friday that Oklahoma's unemployment rate dropped in March to 3.2 percent.

That's a decline from February's rate of 3.5 percent. The rate dropped more than a full percentage point from last March's rate of 4.3 percent.

The agency reported Oklahoma's statewide non-farm employment increased by more than 11,000 jobs in March. Statewide, employment grew in all industry sectors except for manufacturing, which reported a 100-job loss.
