JobsOhio Releases Q3 Recap

The areas of focus included unifying innovation, accelerating growth and showcasing Ohio

A Vision for Ohio’s Economic Future, According to Governor Mike DeWine

Governor Mike DeWine set the tone for this quarter's meeting with a striking address that emphasized the strength of our public-private partnership model.

“This is Ohio’s time,” DeWine said, pointing to our state’s impressive economic turnaround and the reversal of historical out-migration trends. Since 2019, 60 companies from the East and West Costs have expanded their businesses in Ohio, creating more than 17,000 new jobs here.

In-migration trends are particularly notable among prime working age groups (25-44). Ohio experienced an increase of nearly 124,000 highly mobile, early/mid-career professionals from 2019-2023, or a 6 percent increase. Hard-working individuals and their families are having it all in the heart of it all, and apparently, word has gotten around to others.
