Editorial commentary

What the numbers say

About 4,250 Project Management Specialists work in the Oklahoma City metro, which gives you a reasonable sense of the field's footprint here. The median annual wage for the role was $85,540 in 2024, just above the Oklahoma state median of $84,750. Against the national median of $100,946, Oklahoma City sits about 15% lower.

The mean wage of $94,370 runs nearly $9,000 above the median. A smaller group of senior or highly credentialed project managers in the metro pulls that figure up, so the median is the more useful anchor for most people sizing up this market.

The spread between the 10th and 90th percentiles tells a fuller story. The bottom 10% of earners came in at $54,990, while the top 10% reached $138,360. Top earners made roughly 2.5 times what the lowest earners did. That kind of range is common in project management, where pay varies a lot by industry, how large and complex the projects are, and how much experience someone brings. Oklahoma City's energy and government sectors likely account for much of the high end.

The metro tracks Oklahoma closely overall, with a gap of less than 1% between the two medians. Anyone comparing Oklahoma City to other regional markets should focus on the 15-point discount to the national figure, which is meaningful but not unusual for a non-coastal metro of this size.
