Published November 02, 2009 08:39 am - Stimulus plan creates 8,747 jobs in Oklahoma TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Figures provided by the federal government show that Oklahoma netted 8,747 jobs from the first $429.8 million in stimulus money spent in the state. Figures provided on Friday show that more than half the jobs — at least 5,086 — were in common education. Oklahoma ranked 22nd among U.S. states and territories in the number of jobs created. A $989,720 grant to the city of Tulsa for developing a retail center counted zero jobs created on the report, although the center itself is supposed to employ 67 people when it is completed. But an $89,000 Early Head Start grant to Sunbeam Family Services of Oklahoma City listed 20 jobs saved or created. Oklahoma expects to receive nearly $3 billion in stimulus funds over the next 18 months. ___ Information from: Tulsa World, http://www.tulsaworld.com
