Ohio Manufacturing Day
It's Ohio Manufacturing Day today. The terms Ohio and manufacturing are almost synonymous.
Ohio is the third largest manufacturing state in the Union and the largest in the Midwest.
17.8% of Ohio GDP is from manufacturing, making it Ohio's top industry.
More than 5% of the national GDP comes from Ohio.
And manufacturing is growing with plenty of long-term positives on the horizon sparked by favorable demographics in the U.S. compared to other GDP competitors, including China.
Just sharing.
