STEM Workers Important for Economic Growth
Workers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields play a direct role in driving economic growth, and while these jobs are higher paying than other jobs, they do not always require a bachelor's degree. These jobs that do not require a college degree help boost innovation and are associated with less income equality, according to a new report, The Hidden STEM Economy, produced by the Brookings Institution.

It will be interesting to see this list once it includes 2013. Boeing relocated over 1,000 engineering positions to OKC from Wichita and Long Beach. Tulsa has been growing the STEM positions as well but not in big splashes like that.
