Description
Total employment and location quotient analysis, presented in the charts to the right, underscore the importance of the Health, Business & Financial Services, Advanced Materials, Aerospace & Defense, Information Technologies & Telecommunications (IT), and Transportation & Logistics Industries to the State of Ohio. Top industries also include the Metals & Machining Industries and the Chemicals & Chemical-based Products Industries. Ohio’s industry strengths in Advanced Materials are in large part due to its historic Metals and Machining expertise and its Chemical Industries. Other core strengths in Advanced Materials include instruments, controls & electronics (ICE), as well as surgical appliance and instrument manufacturing, and several research fields. Transportation Equipment Manufacturing Industries, which have suffered huge employment losses in the last half decade, continue to contribute jobs and competitive advantage to Ohio.
