Ohio in Top10 Best State for Business
|
|
Every year,
Chief Executive
surveys CEOs around the U.S. to determine their annual list of “Best & Worst States for Business.” This year, Ohio is again a top 10 best state for business.
Chief Executive
recognizes that Ohio is home to 20 Fortune 500 companies and has demonstrated its value through continuous groundbreakings and expansions. Testimonials from c-suite executives also cite JobsOhio as a valuable partner for providing support and resources that helped companies take their next big leap.
Over the last few years, Ohio has climbed similar lists. Although these rankings highlight a pre-COVID-19 business climate, Ohio still has the partnerships and business ecosystem that made it a best state for business. Under the leadership of Governor Mike DeWine, Ohio has set the standard for states throughout the pandemic. This attention and Ohio’s earned reputation give us confidence that Ohio will continue to be a best state for business emerging from the crisis and into the years ahead.
JobsOhio’s most recent Economic Impact Report is now available. For this and other news related to COVID-19 and economic recovery, please visit our
