TierPoint Tulsa

Tulsa's economy combines energy (oil and gas pipeline operations, ONEOK headquarters), aviation manufacturing (Spirit AeroSystems, American Airlines maintenance base), banking, and healthcare. Data centers serve those enterprise tenants plus a Google hyperscaler campus in nearby Pryor — two tracked facilities in metro proper, with roughly 400 NAICS 518 jobs (estimated). The Google campus skews the broader regional opportunity profile significantly.

The trades pool is small. Electricians at $62,280 and HVAC technicians at $58,750 sit moderately close, with both above national averages for non-union markets. The 4,340 maintenance and repair workforce earns $45,760. The 2,610 IT support workforce at $50,940 reflects energy and aviation IT operations.

For a trades worker, Tulsa is a low-cost market with growing data center upside thanks to the nearby Google campus. Best fit for trades willing to commute to Pryor or work in the broader regional facility footprint. HVAC technicians and electricians benefit from the energy industry's high-reliability infrastructure background.
