According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Oklahoma City now has the lowest unemployment rate in the country.

According to new figures, Oklahoma City's rate is 5.8 percent. That's tied with Washington D.C. for the lowest of any metro area with more than one million people.

"It's a reflection of the extraordinary times we're enjoying in Oklahoma City," said Mayor Mick Cornett. "After a few months of second-place finishes, even if it's only been by tenths of points, it's good to be number one again."

Oklahoma County's rate is 6.3 percent, and Oklahoma's overall state rate is also 6.3 percent.
