developed human resources. The pattern of this map would also have a
close direct association with her per capita income and an inverse association
with levels of poverty.
While social and political impacts of human resource development are
collectively significant, individuals are most concerned about enhanced
economic opportunities. The direct cause of three decades of population
loss or little or no growth was the lack of job opportunity in Oklahoma. The
resurgence and diversification of economic growth and development during
the 196os and 1970s attracted many inmigrants.
Oklahoma appeared particularly attractive during the early 1970s when
state unemployment rates remained considerably below the level of the
depressed national economy. Recently state unemployment rates have begun
to creep upward both because the lag effects of the national recession had
reached Oklahoma and the influx of migrants from other states had in-
creased the labor force more rapidly than new jobs could be created. Yet
employment and productivity levels of the Oklahoma economy remain
higher than at any past time and continue to expand.
