Labor Availability
Ohio's six million workers exceed the populations of 31 other states. With 180,000 graduating high school seniors and more than 78,000 college graduates ready to join the workforce every year, Ohio is a juggernaut of worker productivity.
Ranked seventh in both state gross state product and population in the country, Ohio is clearly maximizing its worker productivity, to the benefit of the state's economy and business community. Ohio's recent productivity gains mean that you can maintain or even increase your output with fewer workers.
From 1990-2004, Ohio's gross state product rose a total of 35 percent. Ohio's GDP for 2005 was approximately $392.9 billion, an increase of 5.6 percent from 2000. A plan has been laid out for talent development in Ohio, including the consolidation and alignment of the State's training and talent development funds, rapid response services, worker credentialing and business services. Through these initiatives, productivity is expected to increase even further.
