The US Labor Department has reported the top cities ending in 2009 with the lowest unemployment rates of cities with over 1 million population in the Metro area. The top six cities are: Oklahoma City 6% Washington DC 6.2% New Orleans 6.8% San Antonio 6.8% Austin 6.9% Virginia Beach 6.9% The cities with the highest rates were Detroit at 16.9% and Riverside, CA at 16.0%. There were 17 additional cities with unemployment rates of 10.0% or greater. I would think this is good news for Oklahoma City real estate as we head into the new year. (2 comments)
