Oklahoma’s Workforce
In 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that 1,940,528 of Oklahoma’s 3,178,852 people aged 16 or older participated in the workforce (61%). Women in the labor force were estimated at 895,284, which makes up 55.8% of women over the age of 16. Workforce Demographics While age demographics were unavailable for Oklahoma’s workforce in 2022-2023, we were able to obtain age information for 2021 from Data USA. Figure 4 provides a breakdown for number of workers by age and gender and similar to what was cited previously by the Oklahoma Senate’s interim study, a dramatic drop begins after age 59.
