Greater OKC Region Aerospace Industry Detailed Profile (2025) 1 Estimates of labor income includes employee compensation but not proprietor income earned from self-employment. Our expectation is that proprietor income constitutes less than 10% of total labor income earned across the various aerospace sectors. This provides a conservative margin for estimates of total labor income produced by the industry. 2 The estimates largely reflect activity in place during the second half of 2024 and first half of 2025. Commercial datasets used to identify firms reflect a snapshot of the data in February 2025, with most data verifications occurring in the prior 12 months. Total 338 45,539 $8,773.0
