While 125 high-paying jobs is nothing to sneeze at, I still think people here aren't grasping what a huge "get" this is for OKC/metro. This type of O&G research is exactly the type of thing that almost every other company does *exclusively in Houston*. For GE to trust that they are going to be able to recruit some of the best and brightest STEM people in the country to the OKC Metro says that they believe in what is happening here. For us to get this lab is a far more meaningful statement on how far OKC has come than if Shell, for instance, opened a branch office here, even if the Shell office ultimately employed more people.
