My Manufacturing Bias: A Look at OMA's "Ohio Manufacturing Counts"
I confess. I do have a manufacturing bias.
The latest edition of the Ohio Manufacturers' Association's report "Ohio Manufacturing Counts" does a great job of explaining the manufacturing bias we should all have in Ohio if we care about our economy and the future of our state.
I know that manufacturing is a big part of the Ohio economy (17% of our state GDP), pays among the best wages ($55,525 annual average in 2012), and brings wealth to our state ($50 billion in exports to 211 countries). Thus, manufacturing is the core of our Ohio economy.
See the Ohio Manufacturing Counts piece and watch for a few more excerpts in coming days on my blog.
