Status of Women in Oklahoma Research Release
We partnered with Oklahoma State University’s Spears School of Business to unveil critical new research to understand the economic and civic leadership status of women in Oklahoma. The data provides a guide for creating solutions through policy reform for all women.
The research report reflects Oklahoma women’s journeys and highlights opportunities to empower future progress and discusses insights such as Employment & Earnings, Childcare, Poverty & Social Insurance and Civic Engagement.
Key findings include:
A higher wage gap for OK women
Without change, OK women will not see equal pay until 2076
Childcare in OK costs more than college tuition
OK has the second highest number of uninsured women in the U.S.
