To some degree OK’s economy is in a reverse cycle to the rest of the country. Energy prices go up, we take a hit but OK does great, and vice versa. OK has made great strides in differsifying its economy, and it is likely weathering this better than in past cycles, energy is still a large part of the economy. That being the case, $50/barrel oil is killing it, I’m sure. When oil gets back to $70-ish the economy will return to normal.
