Talking Points
Almost 17 percent of Oklahomans, or approximately 608,000 people, are living in poverty.
350,000 people in the Regional Food Bank’s service area are living in poverty.
257,000 people in the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma’s service area are living in poverty.
23 percent of Oklahoma’s children are living in poverty.
One in five children in the Regional Food Bank’s service area are living in poverty.
Almost one quarter of children in the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma’s service area are living in poverty.
More than 118,000 children in the Regional Food Bank’s service area are living in poverty.
More than 89,000 children in the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma’s service area are living in poverty.
In Oklahoma, 27,000 people, or 3.1% of all hourly workers, earn at or below the federal minimum wage – and 66.7% of that group are women (http://www.bls.gov/regions/southwest/news-release/minimumwageworkers_oklahoma.htm).
Nearly half of working-aged Oklahomans in poverty (43.2 percent) worked full or part-time in 2015 (OK Policy Institute, 2015 Poverty Profile).
Adjusted for inflation, the median income for Oklahoma households is lower today ($46,879 in 2015) than it was in 2014 ($46,235) (Bureau of Labor Statistics Inflation calculator).
Although Oklahoma’s unemployment rate ranks in the middle compared with other states (27th) at around 5 percent, we still struggle with issues of significant underemployment. When one considers the amount of Oklahomans who are underemployed due to an inability to find full-time work, this rate increases considerably to 8.8 percent (Bureau of Labor Statistics, Local Area Unemployment Statistics, Alternative Measures of Labor Utilization by State, Second Quarter of 2016 through first quarter of 2017).
Oklahoma has significant issues with low-wage jobs. 30 percent, or nearly one-third of our jobs exist in occupations with median annual pay below the poverty line for a family of four. Oklahoma is 38th among the states in this category (Corporation for Enterprise Development, Assets and Opportunity Scorecard 2016: http://scorecard.assetsandopportunity.org/latest/state/ok).
