Tribes Report $23.4B Economic Impact on Oklahoma in 2023
- Nineteen tribal nations contributed a $23.4 billion economic impact on Oklahoma in 2023, supporting nearly 140,000 jobs.
- This impact resulted from increased economic activity between 2019 and 2023, tracked in a tribal-backed study released Wednesday.
- The study found that Oklahoma’s tribal nations employed over 55,600 people, paid out $7.8 billion in wages and benefits, and invested $582 million in health care services, which accounted for 3.5 million patient visits.
- In 2023, tribes paid $208 million in exclusivity fees—a 36% increase since 2019—and allocated a total of $351 million from these fees to support education initiatives throughout Oklahoma.
- Leaders emphasized that tribal contributions significantly affect the state economy and communities, especially in rural areas with limited opportunities.
