Oklahoma is in the heart of the Great Plains, and it offers a variety of educational opportunities. The standard of living here is one of the lowest in the nation, yielding affordable housing, food, utilities, and more. The weather here is hot in the summer and mild in the winter, but tornado season brings out some of the most fascinating meteorological events known to man. That is why this state is home to many of the nation’s leading storm chasers. The average employee in Oklahoma earns approximately $39,000 a year.
