Young people were leaving Oklahoma City in droves for Washington and Dallas and Houston and New York and Tokyo, anywhere where they could  find a job that measured up to their educational attainment, because in Oklahoma City, the good jobs just weren't there.
Os jovens, em massa, deixavam a cidade, indo para Washington, Dallas, Houston, Nova Iorque, Tóquio, ou onde houvesse emprego equivalente ao seu nível educacional, pois não havia mais bons empregos na cidade.
