How to read this table

Energy, aerospace, agriculture, and manufacturing drive Oklahoma’s economy.
Manufacturing is reshoring driven by CHIPS Act and defense demand, but a persistent skilled-trades gap limits hiring speed. In Oklahoma, hiring of skilled trades, cnc operators, and engineers is constrained by a multi-decade skilled-labor shortage.
When hiring Manufacturing staff in Oklahoma, budget for the 1.5% SUTA rate on the first $22,100 of wages, $3.20/$100 workers’ comp, and state income tax withholding up to 4.75%.
