It used to be around 2-1 ratio for bigger companies (2 new jobs for 1 job). So if true then Paycom ripples to 9,000 taxpayers. Don’t quote me on 2-1 but I think that was ripple effect jobs.
You're assuming Edmond would grab that area.. Big assumption.
Instead - I'd argue that the land being Oklahoma City made it possible if not likely that Paycomm located there. I doubt they would have located in unincorporated Oklahoma or Canadian county and i don't buy that they would have located in Edmond (they have lots of land already, but no HQ!! - see Heartland/Global Payment Systems).
If OKC weren't as large, Paycomm would likely still want to locate in OKC, just would be closer in. Same with other OKC companies.
Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!
