Economic Impact
A study by Mark Snead and the Oklahoma State University's Center for Applied Economic Research, discovered that graduates from an Oklahoma CareerTech Center can expect to have a higher wage and that wage will tend to grow faster than non-CareerTech students with only a high school diploma. Snead's study also said graduates of CareerTech add about $2 billion to the Oklahoma economy. The income of CareerTech graduates could be expected to grow about 1.25 percent per year compared to a 0.25 percent annual growth for high school graduates without further education.
