A Ripple Effect Producing Statewide Success
Economic impact analysis completed in 2022 is a testament to JobsOhio’s influence on local communities.
Ohio’s economy is shaped by complex interactions among businesses, workers, and communities. The 2022 awardwinning economic impact analysis completed with the help of IMPLAN, the leading provider of economic data and analytical applications, enabled JobsOhio to measure our influence on the economy.
THE WORK OF JOBSOHIO IS SIGNIFICANT IN THREE WAYS:
- Direct Impact: The initial effects JobsOhio has on the state’s economy. This is analyzed through changes in employment, wages, and output.
- Indirect Impact: This is the subsequent increase in jobs, wages, and purchases from other industries in the local economy due to our direct impact. This is what is created by supply-chain businesses that provide goods and services essential to the industry — suppliers of raw materials, utilities, equipment, transportation, and other services.
- Induced Impact: This is the result of the spending of wages and salaries of the direct and indirect employees on items such as housing, food, education, and medical services. This spending creates induced employment in nearly all sectors.
The analysis performed included all 3,274 projects JobsOhio won between 2011 and 2021. The successes shown here are a testament to the state’s workforce strength, business climate, superior infrastructure, and JobsOhio’s powerful collaboration with regional partners.
