Recent job announcements

Here at the Better Life HQ, we like to say Oklahoma City is the perfect place for you to live, work and play. While a lot of our efforts are centered on keeping our readers informed on the live and play parts, there is no doubt the work part is just as important. The good news is Oklahoma City is a great place for job seekers. Since the last part of 2021, our metro has seen the lowest unemployment rates for our region in more than 30 years and continues to have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country. That means we are a city where finding good jobs is simply easier. And with our low cost of living, that means the money you earn here goes further. Below are some recent companies who have announced new jobs for our region:

• Kroger recently announced Oklahoma City will bring delivery service to Oklahoma City. This also means more than 190 jobs at the distribution center it will construct in OKC.
  
  
• Top-rated wireless carrier Consumer Cellular announced a new OKC service center. The company is looking to hire supervisors, IT support staff, call center representatives and more, including both full-time and part-time positions. In all, more than 300 jobs are expected, with the average full-time employee making around $54,000 per year, along with full insurance benefits. The move to Oklahoma City marks the first time in the company’s 25-year history it has expanded outside of its headquarters in Arizona or Oregon offices.
  
  
• Towards the end of 2021, Signify Health, Inc. announced a new 25,000 square-foot facility along with more than 200 new jobs. Signify Health is a leading health care platform that leverages advanced analytics, technology and nationwide health care networks to create and power value-based payment programs.
