Area Development’s rankings are just the latest in accolades for the states, according to JobsOhio.
Ohio jumped in the CNBC rankings from 23 in 2011 to 10th this year, and from 41 in 2011 to ninth in Chief Executive’s annual CEO survey. Ohio was also ninth in Site Selection Magazine and seventh in U.S. News & World Report’s rankings.
“JobsOhio is thrilled to help bring the state further in these rankings, and proud of the work our economic development partners do across the state to bring jobs, companies and opportunities to Ohio,” said J.P. Nauseef, president and chief investment officer of JobsOhio, in a statement. “We are far from finished with our work, however, and will push to improve our state’s economic prospects and continue encouraging companies to locate and expand in Ohio.”
“It’s a compilation of data that’s both useful and thought-provoking,” Area Development wrote about its rankings.
